Psalm 58 :: King James Version (KJV)

Prayer for the Punishment of the Wicked.

Psa 58:1[[To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.]] Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

Psa 58:2

Psa 58:2Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

Psa 58:3

Psa 58:3The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Psa 58:4

Psa 58:4Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

Psa 58:5

Psa 58:5Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

Psa 58:6

Psa 58:6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

Psa 58:7

Psa 58:7Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

Psa 58:8

Psa 58:8As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

Psa 58:9

Psa 58:9Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

Psa 58:10

Psa 58:10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
