Psalm 58:1-3
Good News Translation
A Prayer for God to Punish the Wicked[a]
58 Do you rulers[b] ever give a just decision?
Do you judge everyone fairly?
2 No! You think only of the evil you can do,
and commit crimes of violence in the land.
3 Evildoers go wrong all their lives;
they tell lies from the day they are born.
