## There Is a God Who Judges on Earth
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods? Do you judge with equity, O sons of men?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
No, in heart you work unrighteousness; On earth you prepare a path for the violence of your hands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak falsehood wander in error from birth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
So that it does not hear the voice of charmers, _Or_ a skillful caster of spells.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O Yahweh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Let them flow away like water that runs off; _When_ he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
_Let them be_ as a snail which melts away as it goes along, _Like_ the miscarriages of a woman which never behold the sun.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Before your pots can feel _the fire of_ thorns He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the living and the burning alike.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
The righteous will be glad when he beholds the vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
And men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges on earth!"
