Chapter 58

1


 

  Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?  

 

 

-

2


 

  No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.  

 

 

-

3


 

  The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Their poison is like the poison of a snake; Like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,  

 

 

-

5


 

  Which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, No matter how skillful the charmer may be.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Let them vanish as water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Let them be as a snail which melts and passes away, Like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep away, the green and the burning alike.  

 

 

-

10


 

  The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;  

 

 

-

11


 

  So that men shall say, 'Most assuredly there is a reward for the righteous. Most assuredly there is a God who judges the earth.' Psalm 59 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of 'Do Not Destroy.' A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
