Psalms 58:5-11 New English Translation (NET)

5. that does not respond to the magicians,or to a skilled snake-charmer.

6. O God, break the teeth in their mouths!Smash the jawbones of the lions, O Lord!

7. Let them disappear like water that flows away!Let them wither like grass!

8. Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along!Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!

9. Before the kindling is even placed under your pots,he will sweep it away along with both the raw and cooked meat.

10. The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out;they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.

11. Then observers will say,“Yes indeed, the godly are rewarded!Yes indeed, there is a God who judges in the earth!”
