Psalm 58:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Prayer for Vengeance

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David.

58 Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?^[a]
Do you judge the sons of men uprightly?
²Nay, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
your hands deal out violence on earth.

³The wicked go astray from the womb,
they err from their birth, speaking lies.
