[1] Do you mighty people talk only to oppose justice? Don't you ever judge fairly? [2] You are always planning evil, and you are brutal. [3] You have done wrong and lied from the day you were born. [4] Your words spread poison like the bite of a cobra [5] that refuses to listen to the snake charmer. [6] My enemies are fierce as lions, LORD God! Shatter their teeth. Snatch out their fangs. [7] Make them disappear like leaking water, and make their arrows miss. [8] Let them dry up like snails or be like a child that dies before seeing the sun. [9] Wipe them out quicker than a pot can be heated by setting thorns on fire. [10] Good people will be glad when they see the wicked getting what they deserve, and they will wash their feet in their enemies' blood. [11] Everyone will say, "It's true! Good people are rewarded. God does rule the earth with justice."
