For the Chief Musician; [set to]
Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of
David. Michtam.
1
Do ye indeed in silence speak
righteousness?
Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2
Nay, in heart ye work
wickedness;
Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
3
The wicked are estranged from
the womb:
They go astray as soon as they are 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 hearkeneth not 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 Jehovah.
7
Let them melt away as water
that runneth apace:
When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut
off.
8
[Let them be] as a snail
which melteth and passeth away,
[Like] the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.
9
Before your pots can feel the
thorns,
He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the
burning alike.
10
The righteous shall rejoice
when he seeth the vengeance:
He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
11
So that men shall say, Verily
there is a reward for the
righteous:
Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
