The Just Judgment of the Wicked

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David.

1 Do you indeed speak righteousness, you silent ones?
Do you judge uprightly, you sons of men?
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 aBreak1 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. 
8 Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes,
aLike a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun. 
9 Before your apots can feel the burning thorns,
He shall take them away bas with a whirlwind,
As in His living and burning wrath. 
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the avengeance;
bHe shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked, 
11 aSo that men will say,
“Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely He is God who bjudges in the earth.”

Psalms 58:1

O congregation - The word seems to point at Saul's judges and counsellors; who met together to consult what they should do against David. Sons of men - So he calls them; to mind them that they were men, and must give an account to God for all their hard speeches.
