Psalm 58:6-8
Names of God Bible
6 O Elohim, knock the teeth out of their mouths.
Break the young lions’ teeth, O Yahweh.
7 Let them disappear like water that drains away.
When they aim their bows, let their arrows miss the target.[a]
8 Let them become like a snail that leaves behind a slimy trail
or like a stillborn child who never sees the sun.
