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