Psalm 58

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