engLXXup: Psalms 57

=> Chapters

 [1] For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial.

[2] If ye do indeed speak righteousness,

Then do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men.

[3] For ye work iniquities in your hearts in the earth:

Your hands plot unrighteousness.

[4] Sinners have gone astray from the womb:

They go astray from the belly: they speak lies.

[5] Their venom is like that of a serpent;

As that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;

[6] Which will not hear the voice of charmers,

Nor heed the charm prepared skillfully by the wise.

[7] God has crushed their teeth in their mouth:

God has broken the cheek teeth of the lions.

[8] They shall utterly pass away like water running through:

He shall bend his bow till they shall fail.

[9] They shall be destroyed as melted wax:

The fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.

[10] Before your thorns feel the white thorn,

He shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.

[11] The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly:

He shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

[12] And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous:

Verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
