Psalm 58 Bishops' Bible 1568

From Textus Receptus

Psa 58:1 <To the chiefe musition, destroy not, a golden psalme of Dauid.> O ye that consult together, pronounce ye truely the thing that is iust? O ye sonnes of men iudge you according to equitie? Psa 58:2 Nay, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: your handes waygh as in a ballaunce wickednes vpon the earth. Psa 58:3 The vngodly are straungers euen from their mothers wombe: assoone as they be borne, they go astray and speake a lye. Psa 58:4 (58:4a) They haue poyson [within them] lyke to the poyson of a serpent: they be lyke the deafe adder that stoppeth her eares, Psa 58:5 (58:4b) and wyll not heare the voyce of charmers, though he be neuer so skilfull in charming. Psa 58:6 (58:5) Breake their teeth O Lorde in their mouthes: smite a sunder the chawe bones of Lions O God. Psa 58:7 (58:6) Let them be dissolued as into water, let them come to naught of them selues: and when they shoote their arrowes, let them be as broken. Psa 58:8 (58:7) Let them creepe away lyke a snayle that foorthwith consumeth to naught: or lyke the vntimely fruite of a woman, let them not see the sunne. Psa 58:9 (58:8) As a greene thorne [kindled with fyre, goeth out] before your pottes be made whot: euen so let a furious rage bring him to naught. Psa 58:10 (58:9) The righteous wyll reioyce when he seeth the vengeaunce: he wyll washe his foote steppes in the blood of the vngodly. Psa 58:11 (58:10) And euery man shall say, veryly there is a rewarde for the righteous: doubtlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.
