  • God Who Judges the Earth

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

    Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?b
    Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
  • Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods?
    Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
  • No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
    your hands deal out violence on earth.
  • No, in heart you work unrighteousness;
    On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.
  • The wicked are estranged from the womb;
    they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
  • The wicked are estranged from the womb;
    These who speak lies go astray from birth.
  • They have venom like the venom of a serpent,
    like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
  • They have venom like the venom of a serpent;
    Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,
  • so that it does not hear the voice of charmers
    or of the cunning enchanter.
  • So that it does not hear the voice of charmers,
    Or a skillful caster of spells.
  • O God, break the teeth in their mouths;
    tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
  • O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth;
    Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.
  • Let them vanish like water that runs away;
    when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
  • Let them flow away like water that runs off;
    When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.
  • Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime,
    like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
  • Let them be as a snail which melts away as it goes along,
    Like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun.
  • Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns,
    whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!c
  • Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns
    He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
  • The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
    he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
  • The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
    He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
  • Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
    surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
  • And men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
    Surely there is a God who judges on earth!”
