Psalms:58
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Do you indeed speak righteousness ,
you silent ones ?
Do you judge uprightly ,
you sons of men ?
*
No ,
in heart you work wickedness ;
You weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth .
*
The wicked are estranged from the womb ;
They go astray as soon as they are born ,
speaking lies .
*
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent ;
They are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear ,
*
Which will not heed the voice of charmers ,
Charming ever so skillfully .
*
Break their teeth in their mouth ,
O God !
Break out the fangs of the young lions ,
O LORD !
*
Let them flow away as waters which run continually ;
When he bends his bow ,
Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces .
*
Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes ,
Like a stillborn child of a woman ,
that they may not see the sun .
*
Before your pots can feel the burning thorns ,
He shall take them away as with a whirlwind ,
As in His living and burning wrath .
*
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance ;
He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked ,
*
So that men will say , "
Surely there is a reward for the righteous ;
Surely He is God who judges in the earth ".
