God Judges the Earth
{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.} Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.} Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
No, in your heart you devise injustice,
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Even from birth the wicked go astray;
from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
that will not heed the tune of the charmer,
however skillful the enchanter may be.
however skillful the enchanter may be.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;
Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!
Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Let them vanish like water that flows away;
when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.
when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.
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.
May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,
like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.
like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.
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 will be glad when they are avenged,
when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
