To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Miktam of David.
DO ye indeed speak righteousness, O assembly? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear;
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Break their teeth, O Elohiym, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Yahuah.
Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
As a snail which melts, let everyone of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
So that a man shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous: truly he is an Elohiym that judges in the earth.
