58[For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be sung to the tune “Do Not Destroy!”] Justice—do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly?H5329H516H4387H1732H552H1696H6664H482H8199H4339H1121H1202No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.H3820H6466H5766H6424H2555H3027H7763These wicked people are born sinners; even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.H7563H2114H7358H8582H990H1696H35774They spit venom like deadly snakes; they are like cobras that refuse to listen,H2534H1823H2534H5175H2795H6620H331H2415ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully they play.H8085H6963H3907H2266H2267H24496Break off their fangs, O God! Smash the jaws of these lions, O Lord!H2040H8127H430H6310H5422H4459H3715H30687May they disappear like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their hands.H3988H4325H1980H1869H2671H41358May they be like snails that dissolve into slime, like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.H7642H8557H1980H5309H802H2372H81219God will sweep them away, both young and old, faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.H5518H995H329H8175H2416H274010The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged. They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.H6662H8055H2372H5359H7364H6471H1818H756311Then at last everyone will say, “There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.”H120H559H6529H6662H3426H430H8199H776
