| 1 |
TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO DO NOT DESTROY. A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
|
| 2 |
No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth.
|
| 3 |
The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
|
| 4 |
They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
|
| 5 |
so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
|
| 6 |
O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
|
| 7 |
Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
|
| 8 |
Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
|
| 9 |
Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
|
| 10 |
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
|
| 11 |
Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
|
| 12 | |
| 1 |
Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men?
|
| 2 |
No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
|
| 3 |
Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.
|
| 4 |
Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
|
| 5 |
that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.
|
| 6 |
Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions!
|
| 7 |
Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.
|
| 8 |
Like a slug melting away as it moves along, like a stillborn child, may they not see the sun.
|
| 9 |
Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns- whether they be green or dry-the wicked will be swept away.
|
| 10 |
The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
|
| 11 |
Then men will say, “Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.”
|
| 12 | |
| 1 |
Justice– do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly?
|
| 2 |
No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.
|
| 3 |
These wicked people are born sinners; even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
|
| 4 |
They spit venom like deadly snakes; they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
|
| 5 |
ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully they play.
|
| 6 |
Break off their fangs, O God! Smash the jaws of these lions, O LORD!
|
| 7 |
May they disappear like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their hands.
|
| 8 |
May they be like snails that dissolve into slime, like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.
|
| 9 |
God will sweep them away, both young and old, faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.
|
| 10 |
The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged. They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
|
| 11 |
Then at last everyone will say, “There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.” For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time Saul sent soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. To be sung to the tune “Do Not Destroy!”

| 1 |
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
|
| 2 |
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
|
| 3 |
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
|
| 4 |
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
|
| 5 |
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
|
| 6 |
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
|
| 7 |
Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
|
| 8 |
As 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.
|
| 9 |
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
|
| 10 |
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
|
| 11 |
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
