Psalm 58:4-6

God Who Judges the Earth

4 l They have venom like the venom of a serpent,
like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
 5 so that it m does not hear the voice of charmers
or of the cunning enchanter.

6 O God, n break the teeth in their mouths;
tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
