A Psalm of David; Michtam.\n2 Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?\n3 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.\n4 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.\n5 Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;\n6 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.\n7 Break their teeth, O G-d, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O HaShem.\n8 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.\n9 Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.\n10 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.\n11 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.\n12 And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a G-d that judgeth in the earth.'","title":"Psalms 58","type":"page"}
