Psalm 58:6-8
Living Bible
6 O God, break off their fangs. Tear out the teeth of these young lions, Lord. 7 Let them disappear like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their hands.[a] 8 Let them be as snails that dissolve into slime and as those who die at birth, who never see the sun.
