For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David.

Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones?
Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
[2] No, in your heart you plot injustice.
You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
[3] The wicked go astray from the womb.
They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
[4] Their poison is like the poison of a snake,
like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
[5] which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers,
no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
[6] Break their teeth, God, in their mouth.
Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
[7] Let them vanish like water that flows away.
When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
[8] Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away,
like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
[9] Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns,
he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
[10] The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance.
He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
[11] so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous.
Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
