PSAL LVIII.

[1]

Do ye, O congregation,

indeed speak righteousnesse?
O ye that are the sons of men,
judge ye with uprightnesse?

2

Yea ev'n within your very hearts

ye wickednesse have done;
And yea the violence of your hands
do weigh the earth upon.

3

The wicked men estranged are

ev'n from the very womb;
They speaking lies do stray, as soon
as to the world they come.

4

Unto a serpents poyson like

their poyson doth appear;
Yea, they are like the adder deaf,
that closely stops her ear:

5

That so she may not hear the voice

of one that charm her would.
No not though he most cunning were
and charm most wisely could.

6

Their teeth, O God, within their mouth

break thou in pieces smal;
The great teeth break thō out, O Lord
of these young lions all.

7

Let them like waters melt away,

which downward stil do flow:
In pieces cut his arrows all,
when he shal bend his bow.

8

Like to a snail that melts away,

let each of them be gone:
Like womens birth untimely, that
they never see the sun.

9

He shal them take away, before

your pots the thorns can finde,
Both living, and in fury great,
as with a stormy winde.

10

The righteous whē he vengance sees

he shal be joyful then:
The righteous one shal wash his feet
in bloud of wicked men.

11

So men shal say, the righteous man

reward shal never misse;
And verily upon the earth
a God to judge there is.
