Book 27 : KETUVIM - PSALMS - Chapter 058
58:001
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam
58:002
Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with
equity the sons of men
58:003
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth
the violence of your hands
58:004
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of
lies go astray as soon as they are born
58:005
Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like
the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear
58:006
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the
most cunning binder of spells
58:007
Break their teeth, O G-d, in their mouth; break out the
cheek-teeth of the young lions, O HaShem
58:008
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he
aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off
58:009
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like
the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun
58:010
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it
away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike
58:011
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance;
he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked
58:012
And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the
righteous; verily there is a G-d that judgeth in the earth.
