New Testament

Psalms 58:3-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. No, you freely engage in crime;your hands dispense violence to the earth.

4. The wicked have been corrupt since birth;liars from the womb, they have gone astray.

5. Their venom is like the venom of a snake,like that of a serpent stopping its ears,

6. So as not to hear the voice of the charmeror the enchanter with cunning spells.

7. O God, smash the teeth in their mouths;break the fangs of these lions, Lord!

8. Make them vanish like water flowing away;trodden down, let them wither like grass.

9. Let them dissolve like a snail that oozes away,like an untimely birth that never sees the sun.

10. Suddenly, like brambles or thistles,have the whirlwind snatch them away.

11. Then the just shall rejoice to see the vengeanceand bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
