A Cry against Injustice

For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:1 -

Do you really speak righteously, you mighty ones?[fn]

Do you judge people fairly?

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:2 -

No, you practice injustice in your hearts;

with your hands you weigh out violence in the land.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:3 -

The wicked go astray from the womb;

liars wander about from birth.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:4 -

They have venom like the venom of a snake,

like the deaf cobra that stops up its ears,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:5 -

that does not listen to the sound of the charmers

who skillfully weave spells.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:6 -

God, knock the teeth out of their mouths;

LORD, tear out the young lions’ fangs.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:7 -

May they vanish like water that flows by;

may they aim their blunted arrows.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:8 -

Like a slug that moves along in slime,

like a woman’s miscarried child,

may they not see the sun.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:9 -

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns —

whether green or burning —

he will sweep them away.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:10 -

The righteous one will rejoice

when he sees the retribution;

he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:11 -

Then people will say,

“Yes, there is a reward for the righteous!

There is a God who judges on earth! ”
