Psalms Chapters 58 & 59
Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Psalms Chapter 58
1: Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2: Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3: The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4: Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5: Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6: Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7: Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8: As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9: Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10: The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11: So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Psalms Chapter 59
1: Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2: Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3: For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4: They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5: Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6: They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7: Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8: But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9: Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
10: The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11: Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12: For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13: Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14: And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15: Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16: But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17: Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
