For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam + 58:1 Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60. of David.
God Judges the Earth
581Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?+2Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.+3The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.+4Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [They are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,+5Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.+6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.+7Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.+8[Let them be] as a snail which melteth and passeth away, [Like] the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.+9Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.+10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;+11So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.+
