Psalms 58:6-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 58
6God, shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, Lord. 7May they flow away like water that runs off; When he aims his arrows, may they be as headless shafts. 8 May they be like a snail which goes along in slime, Like the miscarriage of a woman that never sees the sun. 9Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. 10The righteous will rejoice when he sees vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11And people will say, 'There certainly is a reward for the righteous; There certainly is a God who judges on the earth!'King James Version
Chapter 58
6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. 7Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. 8As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. 9Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. 10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 58
6God, knock the teeth out of their mouths; Lord, tear out the young lions' fangs. 7May they vanish like water that flows by; may they aim their blunted arrows.
8Like a slug that moves along in slime, like a woman's miscarried child, may they not see the sun.
9Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns -- whether green or burning -- he will sweep them away.
10The righteous one will rejoice when he sees the retribution; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Then people will say, "Yes, there is a reward for the righteous! There is a God who judges on earth! "
New Living Translation
Chapter 58
6Break off their fangs, O God! Smash the jaws of these lions, O Lord! 7May they disappear like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their hands. 8May they be like snails that dissolve into slime, like a stillborn child who will never see the sun. 9God will sweep them away, both young and old, faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.English Standard Version
Chapter 58
6O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD! 7Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted. 8Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun. 9Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away! 10The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”New International Version
Chapter 58
6Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; LORD, tear out the fangs of those lions! 7Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.
8May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along, like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.
9Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns-- whether they be green or dry--the wicked will be swept away.
10The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Then people will say, 'Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.'
