Metrical Psalms 1650

Psalms 58:5-11 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

5. That so she may not hear the voiceof one that charm her would,No, not though he most cunning were,and charm most wisely could.

6. Their teeth, O God, within their mouthbreak thou in pieces small;The great teeth break thou out, O Lord,of these young lions all.

7. Let them like waters melt away,which downward still do flow:In pieces cut his arrows all,when he shall bend his bow.

8. Like to a snail that melts away,let each of them be gone;Like woman's birth untimely, thatthey never see the sun.

9. He shall them take away beforeyour pots the thorns can find,Both living, and in fury great,as with a stormy wind.

10. The righteous, when he vengeance sees,he shall be joyful then;The righteous one shall wash his feetin blood of wicked men.

11. So men shall say,The righteous manreward shall never miss:And verily upon the eartha God to judge there is.
