- Justice—do you rulers[1] know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly?
- No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.
- These wicked people are born sinners; even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
- They spit venom like deadly snakes; they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
- ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully they play.
- Break off their fangs, O God! Smash the jaws of these lions, O Lord!
- May they disappear like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their hands.[2]
- May they be like snails that dissolve into slime, like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.
- God will sweep them away, both young and old, faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.
- The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged. They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
- Then at last everyone will say, "There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth."
