Chapter 58
1 To the chief Musician{H8764)}, Altaschith{H8686)}, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak{H8762)} righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge{H8799)} uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work{H8799)} wickedness; ye weigh{H8762)} the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged{H8804)} from the womb: they go astray{H8804)} as soon as they be born, speaking{H8802)} lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth{H8686)} her ear;
5 Which will not hearken{H8799)} to the voice of charmers{H8764)}, charming{H8802)} never so wisely{H8794)}.
6 Break{H8798)} their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out{H8800)} the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Let them melt away{H8735)} as waters which run continually{H8691)}: when he bendeth{H8799)} his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces{H8709)}.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away{H8799)}: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see{H8804)} the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel{H8799)} the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind{H8799)}, both living, and in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice{H8799)} when he seeth{H8804)} the vengeance: he shall wash{H8799)} his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say{H8799)}, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth{H8802)} in the earth.
