Psalms 57 — UBES

57Verse 1For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial.^{Verse 2}If ye do indeed speak righteousness,
Then do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men.
^{Verse 3}For ye work iniquities in your hearts in the earth:
Your hands plot unrighteousness.
^{Verse 4}Sinners have gone astray from the womb:
They go astray from the belly: they speak lies.
^{Verse 5}Their venom is like that of a serpent;
As that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
^{Verse 6}Which will not hear the voice of charmers,
Nor heed the charm prepared skillfully by the wise.^{Verse 7}God has crushed their teeth in their mouth:
God has broken the cheek teeth of the lions.
^{Verse 8}They shall utterly pass away like water running through:
He shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
^{Verse 9}They shall be destroyed as melted wax:
The fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.
^{Verse 10}Before your thorns feel the white thorn,
He shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.^{Verse 11}The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly:
He shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
^{Verse 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.
