Salmo 58

¹ Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men? ² Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth. ³ The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies. ⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear; ⁵ Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.

⁶ O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah. ⁷ Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted: ⁸ Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; like the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun. ⁹ Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, --they shall be whirled away. ¹⁰ The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked: ¹¹ And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
