When he bends his bow,
Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.
aLike a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
He shall take them away bas with a whirlwind,
As in His living and burning wrath.
bHe shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
“Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely He is God who bjudges in the earth.”
| << Psalms 58:8 | Psalms 58:10 >> |
