# Psalm 58
[[Ps-57|← Psalm 57]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-59|Psalm 59 →]]
***
###### v1
Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
###### v2
No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
###### v3
The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
###### v4
Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
###### v5
which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
###### v6
Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
###### v7
Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
###### v8
Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
###### v9
Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
###### v10
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
###### v11
so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth."
