Psalms
Chapter
58
1
A golden psalm {miktam} of David.
1
Do you indeed speak righteousness,
O
congregation?
Do
you judge uprightly, O you sons of men?
2
Yes, in heart
you
{sons of men} work wickedness.
You
{sons of men} weigh the violence of your hands
in
the earth.
3
The wicked are estranged from the womb.
They
go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent.
They
are like the deaf adder that stops her ear . . . 5
which
will not hearken to the voice of charmers,
charming
never so wisely.
6
Break their teeth, O 'Elohiym/Godhead,
in
their mouth.
Break
out the great teeth of the young lions,
O
Jehovah/God.
7
Let them melt away as waters which run continually.
When
he bends his bow to shoot his arrows,
let
them be as cut in pieces.
8
As a snail which melts,
let
every one of them pass away . . .
like
the untimely birth of a woman,
that
they may not see the sun.
9
Before your pots can feel the thorns,
he
shall take them away as with a whirlwind,
both
living, and in his wrath.
10
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance.
He
shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11
So that a man shall say,
Verily
there is a reward for the righteous.
Verily
he is a 'Elohiym/Godhead Who judges in the earth.
