Prayer for the Punishment of the Wicked.
For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David. |
|
|
 |
| Psalm 58:1 |
|
Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods? Do
you judge uprightly, O sons of men? |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 58:2 |
|
No, in heart you work unrighteousness; On earth
you weigh out the violence of your hands. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 58:3 |
|
The wicked are estranged from the womb; These
who speak lies go astray from birth. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 58:4 |
|
They have venom like the venom of a serpent;
Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear, |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 58:5 |
|
So that it does not hear the voice of charmers,
Or a skillful caster of spells. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 58:6 |
|
O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break
out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 58:7 |
|
Let them flow away like water that runs off;
When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 58:8 |
|
Let them be as a snail which melts away as it
goes along, Like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 58:9 |
|
Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 58:10 |
|
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the
vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 58:11 |
|
And men will say, "Surely there is a reward
for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges on earth!" |
