The text of the psalm
לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּֽם׃
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam.
הַאֻמְנָם אֵלֶם צֶדֶק תְּדַבֵּרוּן מֵישָׁרִים תִּשְׁפְּטוּ בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃
Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
אַף־בְּלֵב עוֹלֹת תִּפְעָלוּן בָּאָרֶץ חֲמַס יְדֵיכֶם תְּפַלֵּֽסֽוּן׃
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן דֹּבְרֵי כָזָֽב׃
The wicked are estranged from the womb; The speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
חֲמַת־לָמוֹ כִּדְמוּת חֲמַת־נָחָשׁ כְּמוֹ־פֶתֶן חֵרֵשׁ יַאְטֵם אָזְנֽוֹ׃
Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; They are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִשְׁמַע לְקוֹל מְלַחֲשִׁים חוֹבֵר חֲבָרִים מְחֻכָּֽם׃
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Or of the most cunning binder of spells.
אֱלֹהִים הֲרָס־שִׁנֵּימוֹ בְּפִימוֹ מַלְתְּעוֹת כְּפִירִים נְתֹץ יְהוָֽה׃
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; Break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
יִמָּאֲסוּ כְמוֹ־מַיִם יִתְהַלְּכוּ־לָמוֹ יִדְרֹךְ חִצָּיו כְּמוֹ יִתְמֹלָֽלוּ׃
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת בַּל־חָזוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; Like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
בְּטֶרֶם יָבִינוּ סִּירֹתֵיכֶם אָטָד כְּמוֹ־חַי כְּמוֹ־חָרוֹן יִשְׂעָרֶֽנּוּ׃
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק כִּי־חָזָה נָקָם פְּעָמָיו יִרְחַץ בְּדַם הָרָשָֽׁע׃
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
וְיֹאמַר אָדָם אַךְ־פְּרִי לַצַּדִּיק אַךְ יֵשׁ־אֱלֹהִים שֹׁפְטִים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
