    {To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam.} Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?

    To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktama of David.

    Do you judge the children of man uprightly?

  • so that it does not hear the voice of charmers
    or of the cunning enchanter.

    when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
  • Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; [like] the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.
  • Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime,
    like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
  • Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, -- they shall be whirled away.
  • Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns,
    whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!c
  • The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:
  • The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
    he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
  • And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
  • Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
    surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
