mighty ones? [Or is the righteousness, rightness, and
justice you should speak quite dumb?] Do you judge
fairly and uprightly, O you sons of men?

No, in your heart you devise wickedness; you deal out
in the land the violence of your hands.
The ungodly are perverse and estranged from the womb;
they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

Their poison is like the venom of a serpent; they are like

IN JESUS NAME I PRAY
AMEN
