Psalms 57
1For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial. 1
2If ye do indeed speak righteousness, 1 Then do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men. 1
3For ye work iniquities in your hearts in the earth: 1 Your hands plot unrighteousness. 1
4Sinners have gone astray from the womb: 1 They go astray from the belly: they speak lies. 1
5Their venom is like that of a serpent; 1 As that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears; 1
6Which will not hear the voice of charmers, 1 Nor heed the charm prepared skillfully by the wise. 1
7God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: 1 God has broken the cheek teeth of the lions. 1
8They shall utterly pass away like water running through: 1 He shall bend his bow till they shall fail. 1
9They shall be destroyed as melted wax: 1 The fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun. 1
10Before your thorns feel the white thorn, 1 He shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath. 1
11The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: 1 He shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. 1
12And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: 1 Verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
