Chapter 58
Psal GodsWord 58:1  Do you rulers really give fair verdicts? Do you judge Adam's descendants fairly?
Psal GodsWord 58:2  No, you invent new crimes on earth, and your hands spread violence.
Psal GodsWord 58:3  Even inside the womb wicked people are strangers to God. From their birth liars go astray.
Psal GodsWord 58:4  They have poisonous venom like snakes. They are like a deaf cobra that shuts its ears
Psal GodsWord 58:5  so that it cannot hear the voice of a snake charmer or of anyone trained to cast spells.
Psal GodsWord 58:6  O God, knock the teeth out of their mouths. Break the young lions' teeth, O LORD.
Psal GodsWord 58:7  Let them disappear like water that drains away. When they aim their bows, let their arrows miss the target.
Psal GodsWord 58:8  Let them become like a snail that leaves behind a slimy trail or like a stillborn child who never sees the sun.
Psal GodsWord 58:9  Let God sweep them away faster than a cooking pot is heated by burning twigs.
Psal GodsWord 58:10  Righteous people will rejoice when they see God take revenge. They will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
Psal GodsWord 58:11  Then people will say, "Righteous people certainly have a reward. There is a God who judges on earth."
