1. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
2. No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;your hands deal out violence on earth.
3. The wicked are estranged from the womb;they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4. They have venom like the venom of a serpent,like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
5. so that it does not hear the voice of charmersor of the cunning enchanter.
6. O God, break the teeth in their mouths;tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
7. Let them vanish like water that runs away;when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
