Psalms
Chapter 58 · King James Version
1Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4Their poison
is like the poison of a serpent:
they are
like the deaf adder
that stoppeth her ear;
5Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7Let them melt away as waters
which run continually:
when
he bendeth
his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8As a snail
which melteth, let
every one of them
pass away:
like the untimely birth of a woman,
that
they may not see the sun.
9Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in
his wrath.
10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11So that a man shall say, Verily
there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
