Psalm 58 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 58:1To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?
Psa 58:2Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
Psa 58:3The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
Psa 58:4Their poison is as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
Psa 58:5Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
Psa 58:6O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
Psa 58:7They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
Psa 58:8As a snail that melteth he goeth on, As an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
Psa 58:9Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
Psa 58:10The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.
Psa 58:11And man saith: 'Surely fruit is for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'
