[1] Justice? You high and mighty politicians don't even know the meaning of the word! Fairness? Which of you has any left? Not one! All your dealings are crooked: you give "justice" in exchange for bribes. [3] These men are born sinners, lying from their earliest words! [4] They are poisonous as deadly snakes, cobras that close their ears to the most expert of charmers. [6] O God, break off their fangs. Tear out the teeth of these young lions, Lord. [7] Let them disappear like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their hands. [8] Let them be as snails that dissolve into slime and as those who die at birth, who never see the sun. [9] God will sweep away both old and young. He will destroy them more quickly than a cooking pot can feel the blazing fire of thorns beneath it. [10] The godly shall rejoice in the triumph of right; they shall walk the bloodstained fields of slaughtered, wicked men. [11] Then at last everyone will know that good is rewarded, and that there is a God who judges justly here on earth.
