JPS Tanakh 1917 1For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam. 2Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men? 3Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands. 4The wicked are estranged from the womb; The speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born. 5Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; They are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear; 6Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Or of the most cunning binder of spells. 7Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; Break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD. 8Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off. 9Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; Like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun. 10Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike. 11The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 12And men shall say: ‘Verily there is a reward for the righteous; Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.’ JPS Tanakh 1917: THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ACCORDING TO THE MASORETIC TEXT.
