¹ Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones?
Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men? ² No, in your heart you plot injustice. ³ The wicked go astray from the womb. ⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a snake, ⁵ which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers,
no matter how skillful the charmer may be. ⁶ Break their teeth, God, in their mouth.
Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD. ⁷ Let them vanish like water that flows away. ⁸ Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, ⁹ Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, ¹⁰ The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. ¹¹ so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous.
Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
