1. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of Adam?
2. Yea, in heart ye work iniquity; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3. The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear,
5. which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6. Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
7. Let them melt away as waters which run continually; when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
