4 Your words spread poisonlike the bite of a cobra
5 that refuses to listento the snake charmer.
6 My enemies are fierceas lions, Lord God!Shatter their teeth.Snatch out their fangs.
7 Make them disappearlike leaking water,and make their arrows miss.
8 Let them dry up like snailsor be like a child that diesbefore seeing the sun.
9 Wipe them out quickerthan a pot can be heatedby setting thorns on fire.
10 Good people will be gladwhen they see the wickedgetting what they deserve,and they will wash their feetin their enemies' blood.
