Psalm 58

Leader: 	Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Response:	Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Leader: 	The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Response:	Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,
Leader: 	Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.
Response:	Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Leader: 	Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Response:	Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.
Leader: 	Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
Response:	The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked; So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
