2 No, in heart you work wickedness;
You weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 aThe wicked are estranged from the womb;
They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4 aTheir poison
is like the poison of a serpent;
They are like the deaf cobra
that stops its ear,
5 Which will not
aheed the voice of charmers,
Charming ever so skillfully.
6 aBreak
1 their teeth in their mouth, O God!
Break out the fangs of the young lions, O
Lord!
7 aLet them flow away as waters
which run continually;
When he bends
his bow,Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.
