Psalms 57
1If you⌃ do indeed speak righteousness, then do you⌃ judge rightly, you⌃ sons of men. 1
2For you⌃ work iniquities in your hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness. 1
3Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies. 1
4Their venom is like that of a serpent; as that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears; 1
5which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor heed the + 57:5 Gr. poison. charm prepared skillfully by the wise. 1
6God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions. 1
7They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail. 1
8They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun. 1
9Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath. 1
10The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. 1
11And a man shall say, Verily then there is + 57:11 Gr. fruit. a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
