¹ Do you really speak righteously, you mighty ones?^[b]
Do you judge people fairly?^(a)
2 No, you practice injustice in your hearts;
with your hands you weigh out violence in the land.^(b)

³ The wicked go astray from the womb;
liars err from birth.^(c)
4 They have venom like the venom of a snake,
like the deaf cobra that stops up its ears,^(d)
5 that does not listen to the sound of the charmers
who skillfully weave spells.^(e)

⁶ God, knock the teeth out of their mouths;
Lord, tear out the young lions' fangs.^(f)
7 They will vanish like water that flows by;
they will aim their useless arrows.^[c][d](g)
8 Like a slug that moves along in slime,
like a woman's miscarried child,
they will not see the sun.^(h)

⁹ Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns—
whether green or burning—
He will sweep them away.^[e](i)
10 The righteous one will rejoice
when he sees the retribution;^(j)
he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.^(k)
11 Then people will say,
"Yes, there is a reward for the righteous!
There is a God who judges on earth!"^(l)
