Psalms 58

KING JAMES BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?	1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title.
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.	2 If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.	3 For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;	4 The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.	5 Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.	6 Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.	7 God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.	8 They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.	9 Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.	10 Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.	11 The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
	12 And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
