CHAP. LVIII.

1 Dauid reprooueth wicked Iudges, 3 Describeth the nature of the wicked, 6 Deuoteth them to Gods iudgements, 10 whereat the righteous shall reioyce.

¹ [To the chiefe musician Al-taschith, Michtam of Dauid.] Doe yee indeed speake righteousnesse, O congregation? doe ye iudge vprightly, O ye sonnes of men?

² Yea, in heart you worke wickednesse; you waigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

³ The wicked are estranged from the wombe, they goe astray as soone as they be borne, speaking lies.³

⁴ Their poison is like the poyson of a serpent; they are like the deafe adder that stoppeth her eare:⁴

⁵ Which will not hearken to the voyce of charmers, charming neuer so wisely.⁵

⁶ Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouth: breake out the great teeth of the young lyons, O Lord.

⁷ Let them melt away as waters, which runne continually: When he bendeth his bow to shoote his arrowes, let them be as cut in pieces.

⁸ As a snaile which melteth, let euery one of them passe away: like the vntimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sunne.

⁹ Before your pots can feele the thornes, he shall take them away as with a whirlewind, both liuing, and in his wrath.⁹

¹⁰ The righteous shall reioyce when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.

¹¹ So that a man shall say, Uerily there is a reward for the righteous: verily hee is a God that iudgeth in the earth.¹¹
