Psalms 58 (57:1) For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial. If ye do indeed speak righteousness, then do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ^(57:1) For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial. If ye do indeed speak righteousness, then do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men. ² ^(57:2) For ye work iniquities in your hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness. ³ ^(57:3) Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies. ⁴ ^(57:4) Their venom is like that of a serpent; as that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears; ⁵ ^(57:5) which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor heed the charm prepared skillfully by the wise. ⁶ ^(57:6) God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions. ⁷ ^(57:7) They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail. ⁸ ^(57:8) They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun. ⁹ ^(57:9) Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath. ¹⁰ ^(57:10) The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. ¹¹ ^(57:11) And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
