Psalms 58
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A MiktamMiktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60. of David.
1Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers?Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?2No, in your hearts you devise injustice;with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb;the liars go astray from birth.4Their venom is like the venom of a snake,like a cobra that shuts its ears,5refusing to hear the tune of the charmerwho skillfully weaves his spell.
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths;O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.7May they vanishlike water that runs off;when they draw the bow,may their arrows be blunted.18Like a slug that dissolves in its slime,like a woman’s stillborn child,may they never see the sun.
9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.10The righteous will rejoicewhen they see they are avenged;they will wash their feetin the blood of the wicked.11Then men will say,“There is surely a reward for the righteous!There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
