2 No! You plot injustice in your hearts.You spread violence throughout the land.
3 These wicked people are born sinners;even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
4 They spit venom like deadly snakes;they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
5 ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers,no matter how skillfully they play.
6 Break off their fangs, O God!Smash the jaws of these lions, O lord!
7 May they disappear like water into thirsty ground.Make their weapons useless in their hands.
8 May they be like snails that dissolve into slime,like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.
