*For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David.*

## Text

[1] Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers?
Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men? [2] No, in your hearts you devise injustice;
with your hands you mete out violence on the earth. [3] The wicked are estranged from the womb;
the liars go astray from birth. [4] Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like a cobra that shuts its ears, [5] refusing to hear the tune of the charmer
who skillfully weaves his spell. [6] O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths;
O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions. [7] May they vanish
like water that runs off;
when they draw the bow,
may their arrows be blunted. [8] Like a slug that dissolves in its slime,
like a woman’s stillborn child,
may they never see the sun. [9] Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—
whether green or dry—
He will sweep them away. [10] The righteous will rejoice
when they see they are avenged;
they will wash their feet
in the blood of the wicked. [11] Then men will say,
“There is surely a reward for the righteous!
There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
