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! You plot injustice in your hearts.
You spread violence throughout the land.
You spread violence throughout the land.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
These wicked people are born sinners;
even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
They spit venom like deadly snakes;
they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers,
no matter how skillfully they play.
no matter how skillfully they play.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Break off their fangs, O God!
Smash the jaws of these lions, O LORD!
Smash the jaws of these lions, O LORD!
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.
May they be like snails that dissolve into slime,
like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.
like a stillborn child who will never see 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.
God will sweep them away, both young and old,
faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.
faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged.
They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
They will wash 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.
