Psalm the Fifty-eighth
❦
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison
is like the poison of a serpent:
they are
like the deaf adder
that stoppeth her ear;
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
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.
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.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in
his wrath.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
So that a man shall say, Verily
there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
