1 DO you that are in Council met, [Speak and] determine what is just; And justly judge, ye sons of men, [Indeed] according to your trust?
2 Yea, in your hearts you wickedness Contrive, [plot, and] promote, and then Out of the Judgment-seats your hands Weigh violence [on earth] to men.
3 Bad men are from the womb estranged, From every just and holy way; As soon as they are born, they are Inclined [by lies] to go astray.
3 Bad men are from the womb estrang'd, From every just and holy way; As soon as they are born, they are Inclin'd [by lies] to go astray.
