1Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation?
2Yea, in heart you work wickedness;
3The wicked are estranged from the womb:
4Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:
5Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,
6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth:
7Let them melt away as waters which run continually:
8As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away:
9Before your pots can feel the thorns,
10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:
11So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous:
