New American Standard Bible

New Living Translation

  • Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods?
    Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
  • For the choir director: A psalma of David, to be sung to the tune “Do Not Destroy!”

    Justice — do you rulersb know the meaning of the word?
    Do you judge the people fairly?
  • No, in heart you work unrighteousness;
    On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.
  • No! You plot injustice in your hearts.
    You spread violence throughout the land.
  • The wicked are estranged from the womb;
    These who speak lies go astray from birth.
  • These wicked people are born sinners;
    even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
  • They have venom like the venom of a serpent;
    Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,
  • They spit venom like deadly snakes;
    they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
  • So that it does not hear the voice of charmers,
    Or a skillful caster of spells.
  • ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers,
    no matter how skillfully they play.
  • O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth;
    Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.
  • Break off their fangs, O God!
    Smash the jaws of these lions, O LORD!
  • Let them flow away like water that runs off;
    When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.
  • May they disappear like water into thirsty ground.
    Make their weapons useless in their hands.c
  • Let them be as a snail which melts away as it goes along,
    Like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun.
  • May they be like snails that dissolve into slime,
    like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.
  • Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns
    He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
  • God will sweep them away, both young and old,
    faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.
  • The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
    He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
  • The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged.
    They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
  • And men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
    Surely there is a God who judges on earth!”
  • Then at last everyone will say,
    “There truly is a reward for those who live for God;
    surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.”
