Psalms 58
Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription
of a title.
If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things,
ye sons of men.
For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge
injustice in the earth.
The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone
astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent:
like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of
the wizard that charmeth wisely.
God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth:
the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
They shall come to nothing, like water running down;
he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire
hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth
them up, as alive, in his wrath.
The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge:
he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just:
there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth. |
