1To the chief Musician5329, Altaschith516, Michtam4387 of David1732. Do ye indeed552 speak1696 righteousness6664, O congregation482? do ye judge8199 uprightly4339, O ye sons1121 of men120?
2Yea, in heart3820 ye work6466 wickedness5766; ye weigh6424 the violence2555 of your hands3027 in the earth776.
3The wicked7563 are estranged2114 from the womb7358: they go astray8582 as soon as they be born990, speaking1696 lies3577.
4Their poison2534 is like1823 the poison2534 of a serpent5175: they are like the deaf2795 adder6620 that stoppeth331 her ear241;
5Which will not hearken8085 to the voice6963 of charmers3907, charming2266 2267 never so wisely2449.
6Break2040 their teeth8127, O God430, in their mouth6310: break out5422 the great teeth4459 of the young lions3715, O LORD3068.
7Let them melt away3988 as waters4325 which run continually1980: when he bendeth1869 his bow to shoot his arrows2671, let them be as cut in pieces4135.
8As a snail7642 which melteth8557, let every one of them pass away1980: like the untimely birth5309 of a woman802, that they may not see2372 the sun8121.
9Before your pots5518 can feel995 the thorns329, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind8175, both living2416, and in his wrath2740.
10The righteous6662 shall rejoice8055 when he seeth2372 the vengeance5359: he shall wash7364 his feet6471 in the blood1818 of the wicked7563.
11So that a man120 shall say559, Verily there is a reward6529 for the righteous6662: verily he is3426 a God430 that judgeth8199 in the earth776.
