Psalm 58:6-11

New International Version

⁶ Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;^(A)
    Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!^(B)
7 Let them vanish like water that flows away;^(C)
    when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.^(D)
8 May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,^(E)
    like a stillborn child^(F) that never sees the sun.

⁹ Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns^(G)—
    whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.^[a](H)
10 The righteous will be glad^(I) when they are avenged,^(J)
    when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.^(K)
11 Then people will say,
    “Surely the righteous still are rewarded;^(L)
    surely there is a God who judges the earth.”^(M)
