<To the chief Musician, <H5329> Altaschith, <H0408><H7843><H0516> Michtam <H4387> of David.> <H1732> Do ye indeed <H0552> speak <H1696> righteousness, <H6664> O congregation? <H0482> do ye judge <H8199> uprightly, <H4339> O ye sons <H1121> of men? <H0120>
2
Yea, in heart <H3820> ye work <H6466> wickedness; <H5766> ye weigh <H6424> the violence <H2555> of your hands <H3027> in the earth. <H0776>
3
The wicked <H7563> are estranged <H2114> from the womb: <H7358> they go astray <H8582> as soon as they be born, <H0990> speaking <H1696> lies. <H3577>
4
Their poison <H2534> [is] like <H1823> the poison <H2534> of a serpent: <H5175> [they are] like the deaf <H2795> adder <H6620> [that] stoppeth <H0331> her ear; <H0241>
5
Which will not hearken <H8085> to the voice <H6963> of charmers, <H3907> charming <H2266> <H2267> never so wisely. <H2449>
6
Break <H2040> their teeth, <H8127> O God, <H0430> in their mouth: <H6310> break out <H5422> the great teeth <H4459> of the young lions, <H3715> O LORD. <H3068>
7
Let them melt away <H3988> as waters <H4325> [which] run <H1980> continually: [when] he bendeth <H1869> [his bow to shoot] his arrows, <H2671> let them be as cut in pieces. <H4135>
8
As a snail <H7642> [which] melteth, <H8557> let [every one of them] pass away: <H1980> [like] the untimely birth <H5309> of a woman, <H0802> [that] they may not see <H2372> the sun. <H8121>
9
Before your pots <H5518> can feel <H0995> the thorns, <H0329> he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, <H8175> both living, <H2416> and in [his] wrath. <H2740>
10
The righteous <H6662> shall rejoice <H8055> when he seeth <H2372> the vengeance: <H5359> he shall wash <H7364> his feet <H6471> in the blood <H1818> of the wicked. <H7563>
11
So that a man <H0120> shall say, <H0559> Verily [there is] a reward <H6529> for the righteous: <H6662> verily he is <H3426> a God <H0430> that judgeth <H8199> in the earth. <H0776>
