For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy. ” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly , O rulers ? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

Their poison ` is ' as poison of a serpent , As a deaf asp shutting its ear ,

O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD , tear out the fangs of the lions.

May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow , may their arrows be blunted .
They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves , His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off .
8
Like a slug that dissolves in its slime , like a woman’s stillborn child , may they never see the sun.
As a snail that melteth he goeth on , `As' an untimely birth of a woman , They have not seen the sun.
9
Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.

The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.

Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous ! There is surely a God who judges the earth! ”
And man saith: ` Surely fruit `is' for the righteous : Surely there is a God judging in the earth! '
