Psalms

¹Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title. ↗

²If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men. ↗

³For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth. ↗

⁴Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods. ↗

⁵Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears, ↗

⁶who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely. ↗

⁷God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions. ↗

⁸They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened. ↗

⁹Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun. ↗

¹⁰Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage. ↗

¹¹The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. ↗

¹²And man will say, ”If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.“ ↗
