Psalm 58 :: New English Translation (NET)

Psa 58:1

Psa 58:1Do you rulers really pronounce just decisions? Do you judge people fairly?

Psa 58:2

Psa 58:2No! You plan how to do what is unjust; you deal out violence in the earth.

Psa 58:4Their venom is like that of a snake, like a deaf serpent that does not hear,

Psa 58:5that does not respond to the magicians, or to a skilled snake-charmer.

Psa 58:6

Psa 58:6O God, break the teeth in their mouths! Smash the jawbones of the lions, O LORD!

Psa 58:7

Psa 58:7Let them disappear like water that flows away! Let them wither like grass!

Psa 58:8

Psa 58:8Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!

Psa 58:9

Psa 58:9Before the kindling is even placed under your pots, he will sweep it away along with both the raw and cooked meat.

Psa 58:10The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out; they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
