Psalms - Chapter 57

Passage

To the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title. If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, you sons of men. For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth. The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things. Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stops her ears: Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charms wisely. God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions. They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he has bent his bow till they be weakened. Like wax that melts they shall be taken away: fire has fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun. Before your thorns could know the brier; he swallows them up, as alive, in his wrath. The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judges them on the earth.
