ASV · American Standard Version
Psalms 58
1Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness?
2Nay, in heart ye work wickedness;
3The wicked are estranged from the womb:
4Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:
5Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers,
6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth:
7Let them melt away as water that runneth apace:
8Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away,
9Before your pots can feel the thorns,
10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:
11So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous:
