*God Who Judges the Earth*

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David.

\[1\] Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?

Do you judge the children of man uprightly?

\[2\] No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;

your hands deal out violence on earth.

\[3\] The wicked are estranged from the womb;

they go astray from birth, speaking lies.

\[4\] They have venom like the venom of a serpent,

like the deaf adder that stops its ear,

\[5\] so that it does not hear the voice of charmers

or of the cunning enchanter.

\[6\] O God, break the teeth in their mouths;

tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!

\[7\] Let them vanish like water that runs away;

when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.

\[8\] Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime,

like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.

\[9\] Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns,

whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!

\[10\] The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;

he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.

\[11\] Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;

surely there is a God who judges on earth.”

*Deliver Me from My Enemies*

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.

\[1\] Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;

protect me from those who rise up against me;

\[2\] deliver me from those who work evil,

and save me from bloodthirsty men.

\[3\] For behold, they lie in wait for my life;

fierce men stir up strife against me.

For no transgression or sin of mine, O LORD,

\[4\] for no fault of mine, they run and make ready.

Awake, come to meet me, and see!

\[5\] You, LORD God of hosts, are God of Israel.

Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;

spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah

\[6\] Each evening they come back,

howling like dogs

and prowling about the city.

\[7\] There they are, bellowing with their mouths

with swords in their lips—

for “Who,” they think, “will hear us?”

\[8\] But you, O LORD, laugh at them;

you hold all the nations in derision.

\[9\] O my Strength, I will watch for you,

for you, O God, are my fortress.

\[10\] My God in his steadfast love will meet me;

God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.

\[11\] Kill them not, lest my people forget;

make them totter by your power and bring them down,

O Lord, our shield!

\[12\] For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,

let them be trapped in their pride.

For the cursing and lies that they utter,

\[13\] consume them in wrath;

consume them till they are no more,

that they may know that God rules over Jacob

to the ends of the earth. Selah

\[14\] Each evening they come back,

howling like dogs

and prowling about the city.

\[15\] They wander about for food

and growl if they do not get their fill.

\[16\] But I will sing of your strength;

I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.

For you have been to me a fortress

and a refuge in the day of my distress.

\[17\] O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,

for you, O God, are my fortress,

the God who shows me steadfast love. (ESV)
