Psalms Chapter[BR] 58

1 To the director: To the tune of "Don't Destroy." A miktam of David. You judges are not being fair in your decisions. You are not judging people fairly.

2 No, you only think of evil things to do. You do violent crimes in this country.

3 Those wicked people started doing wrong as soon as they were born. They have been liars from birth.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 58

4 Their anger is as deadly as the poison of a snake. They shut their ears like a deaf cobra

5 that does not listen to the music of the snake charmers, no matter how well they play.

6 God, they are like lions. So Lord, break their teeth.

7 May they disappear like water down a drain. May they be crushed like weeds on a path.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 58

8 May they be like snails melting away as they move. May they be like a baby born dead, who never saw the light of day.

9 May they be destroyed suddenly, like the thorns that are burned to quickly heat a pot.

10 Good people will be happy when they see the wicked getting the punishment they deserve. They will feel like soldiers walking through the blood of their enemies!

Psalms Chapter[BR] 58

11 Then people will say, "Good people really are rewarded. Yes, there is a God judging the world!"
