Psalm 58 (TRV)
From Textus Receptus
- 0 To the chief musician Al-taschith, Michtam of David.
- 1 Do you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? Do you judge uprightly, O you sons of men?
- 2 Yes, in heart you work wickedness; you weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
- 3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
- 4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; they are like the deaf cobra that stops its ears,
- 5 Which will not take heed to the voice of charmers, charming ever so skillfully.
- 6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth. Break out the large teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
- 7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually; when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be cut in pieces.
- 8 Like a snail which melts, let every one of them pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
- 9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in His wrath.
- 10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
- 11 So that a man will say, “Truly there is a reward for the righteous;
truly He is a God who judges in the earth.”
