Commentary for Psalms 58:5

חֲמַת־לָ֗מוֹ כִּדְמ֥וּת חֲמַת־נָחָ֑שׁ כְּמוֹ־פֶ֥תֶן חֵ֝רֵ֗שׁ יַאְטֵ֥ם אָזְנֽוֹ׃

Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; They are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;

Rashi on Psalms

They have venom They have venom to kill people, like the venom of a serpent.

Rashi on Psalms

like a deaf cobra that closes its ear When the snake ages, it becomes deaf in one ear, and closes the other ear with dust so that it should not hear the incantation of the charmer, adjuring it not to cause injury.
