NASB Bible

Psalms 58

For the choir director; set to  aAl-tashheth. A  bMikhtam of David.

1

Do you indeed  1speak righteousness, O  2gods? Do you  ajudge  3uprightly, O sons of men?

2

No, in heart you  awork unrighteousness; On earth you  bweigh out the violence of your hands.

3

The wicked are estranged  afrom the womb; These who speak lies  bgo astray from  1birth.

4

They have venom like the  avenom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,

5

So that it  adoes not hear the voice of  1 bcharmers, Or a skillful caster of spells.

6

O God,  ashatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.

7

Let them  aflow away like water that runs off; When he  1 baims his arrows, let them be as  2headless shafts.

8

Let them be as a snail which  1melts away as it goes along, Like the  amiscarriages of a woman which never see the sun.

9

Before your  apots can feel the fire of thorns He will  bsweep them away with a whirlwind, the  1green and the burning alike.

10

The  arighteous will rejoice when he  bsees the vengeance; He will  cwash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

11

And men will say, "Surely there is a  1 areward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who  bjudges  2on earth!"
