Psalm 58:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Curse on Unjust Rulers
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouths.
Tear out the fangs of the young lions, Lord!
7 Let them vanish like water that flows away.
When he draws his bow, let his arrows be cut off.[a]
8 As a slug melts away as it crawls along, so let him disappear.
Like a stillborn child may they not see the sun.
Footnotes
- Psalm 58:7 The text and its meaning are uncertain. Literally it seems to read: he treads his arrows like they are cut off/dry up.
