- 0:03Speaker 1: Psalm 58 For the Cheap Musician To the tune of
- 0:07Speaker 1: Do Not Destroy A poem by David Do you indeed
- 0:12Speaker 1: speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons
- 0:16Speaker 1: of men? No, in your heart you plot injustice. You
- 0:21Speaker 1: measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
- 0:23Speaker 1: The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward
- 0:27Speaker 1: as soon as they are born, speaking lies. Their poison
- 0:30Speaker 1: is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf
- 0:33Speaker 1: cobra that stops its ear, which doesn't listen to the
- 0:36Speaker 1: voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the
- 0:44Speaker 1: great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh. Let them vanish
- 0:47Speaker 1: as water that flows away. When they draw the bow,
- 0:51Speaker 1: let their arrows be made blunt. Let them be like
- 0:54Speaker 1: a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn
- 0:57Speaker 1: child who has not seen the sun. Before your pots
- 1:01Speaker 1: can fill the heat of the thorns, he will sweep
- 1:04Speaker 1: away the green and the burning alike. The righteous shall
- 1:08Speaker 1: rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his
- 1:11Speaker 1: feet in the blood of the wicked, so that men
- 1:14Speaker 1: shall say, Most assuredly there is a reward for the righteous.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Most assuredly there is a God who judges the earth.
