Psalms
Chapter Fifty-Eight
<<To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.>>
1 ¶ Do ye indeed
speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the
earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be
born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder
that stoppeth her ear;
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 ¶ Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth
of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow
to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely
birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind,
both living, and in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his
feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily
he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
