God Who Judges the Earth
To the choirmaster: according to hDo Not Destroy. A iMiktam1 of David.
1Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?2
Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
2No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
your hands jdeal out violence on earth.
3The wicked are kestranged from the womb;
they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4lThey have venom like the venom of a serpent,
like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
5so that it mdoes not hear the voice of charmers
or of the cunning enchanter.
6O God, nbreak the teeth in their mouths;
tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
7Let them ovanish like water that runs away;
when he paims his arrows, let them be blunted.
8Let them be like the snail othat dissolves into slime,
like qthe stillborn child who never sees the sun.
9Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of rthorns,
whether green or ablaze, may he ssweep them away!3
10tThe righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
he will ubathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Mankind will say, “Surely there is va reward for the righteous;
surely there is a God who wjudges on earth.”
