Geneva Bible (1599)Psalm 58

1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. Is it true? O Congregation, speake ye iustly? O sonnes of men, iudge ye vprightly?

7 Let them melt like the waters, let them passe away: when hee shooteth his arrowes, let them be as broken.

8 Let them consume like a snayle that melteth, and like the vntimely fruite of a woman, that hath not seene the sunne.

9 As raw flesh before your pots feele the fire of thornes: so let him cary them away as with a whirlewinde in his wrath.

10 The righteous shall reioyce when he seeeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.

11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruite for the righteous: doutlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.
