- 1
- Psalm 58 For the director of music. [To the tune of] "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A miktam.
- 1
- Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men?
- 2
- No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
- 3
- Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.
- 4
- Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
- 5
- that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.
- 6
- Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions!
- 7
- Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.
- 8
- Like a slug melting away as it moves along, like a stillborn child, may they not see the sun.
- 9
- Before your pots can feel [the heat of] the thorns-- whether they be green or dry--the wicked will be swept away. [2]
- 10
- The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
- 11
- Then men will say, "Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth."

- 3

- 5
- Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
- 6
- you mountains, that you skipped like rams, you hills, like lambs?
- 7
- Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
- 8
- who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
