1 D o you speak what is right and good, O you powerful ones? Are you always right in how you judge, O sons of men?

2 N o, in your heart you do what is wrong. You use your hands to hurt and destroy in the land.

3 T he sinful go wrong as soon as they are born. Those who speak lies go the wrong way from birth.

4 T heir poison is like the poison of a snake. They are like a cobra that cannot or will not listen.

5 I t does not hear the voice of the man who has power over it, even if the man is very good in his work.

6 O God, break the teeth in their mouth. Break out the teeth of the young lions, O Lord.

7 L et them flow away like water that pours. When he uses his arrows, let them have no heads.

8 L et them be like a snail that melts away as it goes. Like a baby born dead, may they never see the sun.

9 B efore your pots can feel the fire of thorns, He will blow them away with a storm, both the green and the burning ones.

10 T he one who is right and good will be full of joy when he sees the sinful punished. He will wash his feet in their blood.

11 A nd men will say, “For sure there is pay for those who are right and good. For sure there is a God Who says who is guilty or not on the earth.”
