1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?1Do you really speak righteously, you mighty ones? Do you judge people fairly?
2No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.2No, you practice injustice in your hearts; with your hands you weigh out violence in the land.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.3The wicked go astray from the womb; liars wander about from birth.
4Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,4They have venom like the venom of a snake, like the deaf cobra that stops up its ears,
5refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.5that does not listen to the sound of the charmers who skillfully weave spells.
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.6God, knock the teeth out of their mouths; LORD, tear out the young lions' fangs.
7May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.7May they vanish like water that flows by; may they aim their blunted arrows.
8Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.8Like a slug that moves along in slime, like a woman's miscarried child, may they not see the sun.
9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.9Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns--whether green or burning--he will sweep them away.
10The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.10The righteous one will rejoice when he sees the retribution; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”11Then people will say, "Yes, there is a reward for the righteous! There is a God who judges on earth!"
