Do you indeed 1speak righteousness, O 2gods? Do you ajudge 3uprightly, O sons of men?
2No, in heart you awork unrighteousness; On earth you bweigh out the violence of your hands.
3The wicked are estranged afrom the womb; These who speak lies bgo astray from 1birth.
4They have venom like the avenom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,
5So that it adoes not hear the voice of 1 bcharmers, Or a skillful caster of spells.
6O God, ashatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.
7Let them aflow away like water that runs off; When he 1 baims his arrows, let them be as 2headless shafts.
8Let them be as a snail which 1melts away as it goes along, Like the amiscarriages of a woman which never see the sun.
9Before your apots can feel the fire of thorns He will bsweep them away with a whirlwind, the 1green and the burning alike.
10The arighteous will rejoice when he bsees the vengeance; He will cwash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11And men will say, "Surely there is a 1 areward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who bjudges 2on earth!"
