Psalm 58:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Let them dissolve like a snail that oozes away,[a]
like an untimely birth that never sees the sun.(A)
10 Suddenly, like brambles or thistles,
have the whirlwind snatch them away.(B)
11 Then the just shall rejoice to see the vengeance
and bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.(C)
