New Living Translation

Psalms 58:3-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

3. These wicked people are born sinners;even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.

4. They spit venom like deadly snakes;they are like cobras that refuse to listen,

5. ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers,no matter how skillfully they play.

6. Break off their fangs, O God!Smash the jaws of these lions, O  lord!

7. May they disappear like water into thirsty ground.Make their weapons useless in their hands.

8. May they be like snails that dissolve into slime,like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.

9. God will sweep them away, both young and old,faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.
