The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,

Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.

Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.

Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.

Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.

Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
