n°19 / Psalms 58 :

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