Psalms 58 To the Chief Musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David. Will you indeed speak righteousness in silence? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the Chief Musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David. Will you indeed speak righteousness in silence? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men? ² Yes, in heart you work the evil, you weigh the violence of your hands in the land. ³ The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from the womb, speaking lies. ⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a snake; like the deaf adder, he stops his ear, ⁵ which will not listen to the charmer's voice, a skillful caster of spells. ⁶ O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the big teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah. ⁷ Let them melt away like waters; they run off to them; he bends his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off. ⁸ Let them be as a snail goes into melting; as a miscarriage of a woman, they do not see the sun. ⁹ Before your pots can feel the thorns, whether green or glowing, He shall sweep it away. ¹⁰ The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. ¹¹ And man shall say, Truly, there is a reward for the righteous; truly, there is a God judging in the earth.
