096) Psalm 58

Psalm 58 To the chief musician, Altaschith, michtam of David.

8.6.8.6

1 Doe ye o congregation, indeed speak righteousness? and o ye sons of earthly men, do ye judge uprightness?

2 Yea you in heart will working be injurious-wickedness; and in the land you will weigh out your hands violentness.

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb, they go astray as soon as ever they are borne; uttering lies are they.

4 Their poison’s like serpents poison: they like deaf Asp, her ear 5 that stops. Though Charmer wisely charm, his voice she will not hear.

6 Within their mouth do thou their teeth break out, o God most strong, do thou Jehovah, the great teeth break of the lions young.

7 As waters let them melt away, that run continually: and when he bends his shafts, let them as cut asunder be.

8 Like to a snail that melts, so let each of the pass away; like to a woman’s untimely birth see Sun that never they may.

9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, take them away shall he, as with a whirlwind both living, and in his jealousy.

10 The righteous will rejoice when as the vengeance he doth see: his feet wash shall he in the blood of them that wicked be.

11 So that a man shall say, surely for righteous there is fruit: sure there’s a God that in the earth judgment doth execute.
