1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? <br /> do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? <br /> <br />2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; <br /> ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. <br /> <br />3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: <br /> they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. <br /> <br />4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: <br /> they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; <br /> <br />5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, <br /> charming never so wisely. <br /> <br />6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: <br /> break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. <br /> <br />7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: <br /> when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, <br /> let them be as cut in pieces. <br /> <br />8 As a snail which melteth, <br /> let every one of them pass away: <br /> like the untimely birth of a woman, <br /> that they may not see the sun. <br /> <br />9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, <br /> he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, <br /> both living, and in his wrath. <br /> <br />10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: <br /> he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. <br /> <br />11 So that a man shall say, <br /> Verily there is a reward for the righteous: <br /> verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-58-do-ye-304-ndeed-speak-righteousness-o-congregation/
