To the chief MusicianH5329, AltaschithH516, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732. Do ye indeedH552 speakH1696 righteousnessH6664, O congregationH482? do ye judgeH8199 uprightlyH4339, O ye sonsH1121 of menH120? {Altaschith…: or, Destroy not, A golden Psalm of David}

Let them melt awayH3988 as watersH4325 which run continuallyH1980: when he bendethH1869 his bow to shoot his arrowsH2671, let them be as cut in piecesH4135.
As a snailH7642 which meltethH8557, let every one of them pass awayH1980: like the untimely birthH5309 of a womanH802, that they may not seeH2372 the sunH8121.
Before your potsH5518 can feelH995 the thornsH329, he shall take them away as with a whirlwindH8175, both livingH2416, and in his wrathH2740. {both…: Heb. as living as wrath}
The righteousH6662 shall rejoiceH8055 when he seethH2372 the vengeanceH5359: he shall washH7364 his feetH6471 in the bloodH1818 of the wickedH7563.
So that a manH120 shall sayH559, Verily there is a rewardH6529 for the righteousH6662: verily he isH3426 a GodH430 that judgethH8199 in the earthH776. {a reward…: Heb. fruit of the, etc}
