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