For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David. Michtam. Do ye indeedH552 in silenceH482 speakH1696 righteousnessH6664? Do ye judgeH8199 uprightlyH4339, O ye sonsH1121 of menH120? Nay, in heartH3820 ye workH6466 wickednessH5766; Ye weighH6424 out the violenceH2555 of your handsH3027 in the earthH776. The wickedH7563 are estrangedH2114 from the wombH7358: They go astrayH8582 as soon as they are bornH990, speakingH1696 liesH3577. Their poisonH2534 is likeH1823 the poisonH2534 of a serpentH5175: They are like the deafH2795 adderH6620 that stoppethH331 her earH241, Which hearkenethH8085 not to the voiceH6963 of charmersH3907, CharmingH2266 never so wiselyH2449. BreakH2040 their teethH8127, O GodH430, in their mouthH6310: Break outH5422 the great teethH4459 of the young lionsH3715, O JehovahH3068. Let them melt awayH3988 as waterH4325 that runneth apaceH1980: When he aimethH1869 his arrowsH2671, let them be as though they were cut offH4135. Let them be as a snailH7642 which meltethH8557 and passeth awayH1980, Like the untimely birthH5309 of a womanH802, that hath not seenH2372 the sunH8121. Before your potsH5518 can feelH995 the thornsH329, He will take them away with a whirlwindH8175, the greenH2416 and the burningH2740 alike. The righteousH6662 shall rejoiceH8055 when he seethH2372 the vengeanceH5359: He shall washH7364 his feetH6471 in the bloodH1818 of the wickedH7563; So that menH120 shall sayH559, Verily there is a rewardH6529 for the righteousH6662: Verily there isH3426 a GodH430 that judgethH8199 in the earthH776.
