Berean Study BibleNET Bible
1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?1For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; a prayer of David. Do you rulers really pronounce just decisions? Do you judge people fairly?
2No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.2No! You plan how to do what is unjust; you deal out violence in the earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.3The wicked turn aside from birth; liars go astray as soon as they are born.
4Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,4Their venom is like that of a snake, like a deaf serpent that does not hear,
5refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.5that does not respond to the magicians, or to a skilled snake-charmer.
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.6O God, break the teeth in their mouths! Smash the jawbones of the lions, O LORD!
7May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.7Let them disappear like water that flows away! Let them wither like grass!
8Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.8Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!
9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.9Before the kindling is even placed under your pots, he will sweep it away along with both the raw and cooked meat.
10The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.10The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out; they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”11Then observers will say, "Yes indeed, the godly are rewarded! Yes indeed, there is a God who judges in the earth!"
