1 To the overseer, Thou wilt not destroy; to David a poem. Will ye indeed speak dumb justice? will ye judge justly, ye sons of man?
2 Also in heart ye will work evil; in the earth ye will roll the violence of your hands.
3 The unjust turned aside from the belly: they went astray from the womb, speaking falsehood.
4 Wrath to them according to the likeness of the wrath of a serpent: as the deaf adder will stop its ear;
5 Which will not hear to the voice of enchanters, charming with enchantments from wisdom.
6 God destroyed their teeth in their mouth: Jehovah broke down the young lions' grinders.
7 They shall melt away as water shall go about to them: he will bend his arrow, they shall be as cut off.
8 As a snail shall melt away he shall go: fire fell; they saw not the sun.
