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.
CHAPTER 59
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 L
ORD
.
4
They run and prepare themselves without
my
fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5
Thou therefore, O L
ORD
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 L
ORD
, 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.
