Tap a verse to highlight it

1 (大衛的 金詩,交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。)世人哪,你們默然不 語,真 合公義嗎?施行審判,豈按正直嗎?

2 不然!你們是心中 作 惡;你們在地上 秤出 你們手 所行的強暴。

3 惡人 一出母胎就與 神疏遠,一離母腹 便走錯路,說 謊話。

4 他們的 毒氣 好像 蛇 的毒氣;他們好像 塞 耳 的聾 虺,

5 不 聽 行法術 的聲音,雖用極靈的 咒語也是不聽。

6 神啊,求你敲碎 他們口中 的牙;耶和華啊,求你敲掉 少壯獅子 的大牙!

7 願他們消滅,如 急流的 水一般;他們瞅準 射箭的時候,願箭頭彷彿 砍斷。

8 願他們像 蝸牛 消化 過去,又像婦人 墜落未 見 天日 的胎。

9 你們用荊棘燒火,鍋 還未 熱,他要用旋風把 青的和 燒著的 一齊颳去。

10 義人 見 仇敵遭報 就歡喜,要在惡人 的血中 洗 腳。

11 因此,人 必說:義人 誠然 有善報;在地上 果 有 施行判斷的 神!

What vivid images does the psalm use for the wicked?
It compares them to a deaf snake that won't listen to charmers (vv.4-5) and asks God to make them melt away 'as waters which run continually' or vanish 'like the untimely birth of a woman' (vv.7-8).
How does the psalm conclude?
It concludes that watching justice done will prove 'there is a reward for the righteous... a God that judgeth in the earth' (v.11), a confidence in God's righteous judgment shared with Psalms 67:4.
