## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
#### For the music director, according to the _al-tashcheth_ style; a prayer of David.
[[#Verse 01.]] Do you rulers really pronounce just decisions?
Do you judge people fairly?
[[#Verse 02.]] No! You plan how to do what is unjust;
you deal out violence in the earth.
[[#Verse 03.]] The wicked turn aside from birth;
liars go astray as soon as they are born.
[[#Verse 04.]] Their venom is like that of a snake,
like a deaf serpent that does not hear,
[[#Verse 05.]] that does not respond to the magicians,
or to a skilled snake charmer.
[[#Verse 06.]] O God, break the teeth in their mouths!
Smash the jawbones of the lions, O Lord.
[[#Verse 07.]] Let them disappear like water that flows away.
Let them wither like grass.
[[#Verse 08.]] Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along.
Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun.
[[#Verse 09.]] Before the kindling is even placed under your pots,
he will sweep it away along with both the raw and cooked meat.
[[#Verse 10.]] The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out;
they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
[[#Verse 11.]] Then observers will say,
“Yes indeed, the godly are rewarded.
Yes indeed, there is a God who judges in the earth.”
