      Psalm 58 (Listen)

      God Who Judges the Earth

      To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam1 of David.

      58:1   Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?2
          Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
      2   No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
          your hands deal out violence on earth.
      3   The wicked are estranged from the womb;
          they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
      4   They have venom like the venom of a serpent,
          like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
      5   so that it does not hear the voice of charmers
          or of the cunning enchanter.
      6   O God, break the teeth in their mouths;
          tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
      7   Let them vanish like water that runs away;
          when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
      8   Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime,
          like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
      9   Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns,
          whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!3
      10   The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
          he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
      11   Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
          surely there is a God who judges on earth.”

      Psalm - 58:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term
      Psalm - 58:1 Or you mighty lords (by revocalization; Hebrew in silence)
      Psalm - 58:9 The meaning of the Hebrew verse is uncertain
