[1] You judges are not being fair in your decisions. You are not judging people fairly.

[2] No, you only think of evil things to do. You do violent crimes in this country.

[3] Those evil men started doing wrong as soon as they were born. They have been liars from birth.

[4] Their anger is as dangerous as snake venom. And, like cobras that can’t hear, they refuse to listen to the truth.

[5] Cobras can’t hear the music or songs of snake charmers. And those evil people are like that as they make their evil plans.

[6] Lord, those people are like lions. So Lord, break their teeth.

[7] May those people disappear like water down a drain. May they be crushed like weeds on a path.

[8] May they be like snails melting away as they move. May they be like a baby that was born dead and never saw the light of day.

[9] May they be destroyed quickly like thorns that burn too fast to heat the pot.

[10] A good man will be happy when he sees evil people punished for the bad things they did to him. He will be like a soldier who defeated all his enemies!

[11] When that happens, people will say: ”Good people really are rewarded. There really is a God judging the world!”
