Psalm 58
Prayer For The Punishment Of The Wicked.
To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Do Not Destroy.” A Mikhtam of David. [A record of memorable thoughts of David].
Do you judge fairly, O sons of men?
On earth you deal out the violence of your hands.
These go astray from birth, speaking lies [even twisted partial truths].
They are like the deaf horned viper that stops up its ear,
Or of the skillful enchanter casting [cunning] spells.
Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.
When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.
Like the miscarriage of a woman which never sees the sun.
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning ones alike.
He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Surely there is a God who judges on the earth.”
