Psalms 58
NASB
Psalm 58:1
&
Do you indeed speak righteousness, O (Or {mighty ones} or {judges}) gods? Do you judge (Or {uprightly the sons of men}) uprightly, O sons of men?
Psalm 58:2
&
No, in heart you work unrighteousness; On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.
Psalm 58:3
&
The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth.
Psalm 58:4

They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,

So that it does not hear the voice of charmers, {Or} a skillful caster of spells.
Psalm 58:6
&
O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.
Psalm 58:7
&
Let them flow away like water that runs off; {When} he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.
Psalm 58:8
&
{Let them be} as a snail which melts away as it goes along, {Like} the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun.
Psalm 58:9
&
Before your pots can feel {the fire of} thorns He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
Psalm 58:10

The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

&
And men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges on earth!"
