Good News Bible

Psalms 58:6-11 Good News Bible (GNB)

6. Break the teeth of these fierce lions, O God.

7. May they disappear like water draining away;may they be crushed like weeds on a path.

8. May they be like snails that dissolve into slime;may they be like a baby born dead that never sees the light.

9. Before they know it, they are cut down like weeds;in his fierce anger God will blow them awaywhile they are still living.

10. The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished;they will wade through the blood of the wicked.

11. People will say, “The righteous are indeed rewarded;there is indeed a God who judges the world.”
