CHAPTER 58

1
For the choirmaster.
To the tune of
“Do Not Destroy.”
A Miktam
of David.
Do you indeed
speak
justly,
O rulers?
Do you judge
uprightly,
O sons
of men?
2
No,
in your hearts
you devise
injustice;
with your hands
you mete out
violence
on the earth.
3
The wicked
are estranged
from the womb;
the liars
go astray
from birth.
4
Their venom
is like
the poison
of a serpent,
like
a cobra
that shuts
its ears,
5
that
it need not
heed
the tune
of the charmer
who skillfully
weaves his spell.
6
O God,
shatter
their teeth
in their mouths;
O LORD,
tear out
the fangs
of the lions.
7
May they vanish
like
water
that runs off;
when they draw the bow,
may their arrows
be blunted.
8
Like
a slug
that dissolves
in its slime,
like a woman’s
stillborn child,
may they never
see
the sun.
9
Before
your pots
can feel
the heat of thorns—
whether green
or
dry—
He will sweep them away.
10
The righteous
will rejoice
when
they see
they are avenged;
they will wash
their feet
in the blood
of the wicked.
11
Then men
will say,
“There is surely
a reward
for the righteous!
There is
surely
a God
who judges
the earth!”
