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 speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?+2Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.+3The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.+4Their poison
is like the poison of a serpent:
they are
like the deaf adder
that stoppeth her ear;+5Which will not hearken 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 LORD.+7Let them melt away as waters
which run continually:
when
he bendeth
his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.+8As 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.+9Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in
his wrath.+10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.+11So that a man shall say, Verily
there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.+
