Psalms 58:4-9

⁴They have venom like that of a poisonous snake, and just like a cobra they stop listening,

⁵refusing to hear the voice of the snake charmers or the spellbinders.

⁶God, break their teeth, and smash the jaws of these lions, Lord.

⁷May they vanish like water that flows away; when they shoot their arrows may they miss their mark.

⁸May they be like the slime of snails that dissolves away, like a stillborn child that never saw the light of day.

⁹Before the cooking pot is hot from burning thorns, whether fresh or dry, God will blow them away.
