1. Do you speak what is right and good, O you powerful ones? Are you always right in how you judge, O sons of men?
2. No, in your heart you do what is wrong. You use your hands to hurt and destroy in the land.
3. The sinful go wrong as soon as they are born. Those who speak lies go the wrong way from birth.
4. Their poison is like the poison of a snake. They are like a cobra that cannot or will not listen.
5. It does not hear the voice of the man who has power over it, even if the man is very good in his work.
6. O God, break the teeth in their mouth. Break out the teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
7. Let them flow away like water that pours. When he uses his arrows, let them have no heads.
8. Let them be like a snail that melts away as it goes. Like a baby born dead, may they never see the sun.
9. Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns, He will blow them away with a storm, both the green and the burning ones.
10. The one who is right and good will be full of joy when he sees the sinful punished. He will wash his feet in their blood.
11. And men will say, "For sure there is a reward for those who are right and good. For sure there is a God Who says who is guilty or not on the earth."
