1 Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?
1To the Overseer. --`Destroy not.' --A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
2Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
3The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;
4Their poison <FI>is<Fi> as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
5 Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.
5Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
6 OGod, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
6O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
7 Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:
7They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
8 Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; [like] the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.
8As a snail that melteth he goeth on, <FI>As<Fi> an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
9 Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, — they shall be whirled away.
9Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
