For the director of music. To the tune of ‘Do Not Destroy’.
Of David. A miktam.
1
Do you rulers indeed speak justly?
Do you judge people with equity?
2
No, in your heart you devise injustice,
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
3
Even from birth the wicked go astray;
from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
4
Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
5
that will not heed the tune of the charmer,
however skilful the enchanter may be.
6
Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;
Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!
7
Let them vanish like water that flows away;
when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.
8
May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,
like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.
9
Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns –
whether they be green or dry – the wicked will be swept away.
10
The righteous will be glad when they are avenged,
when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11
Then people will say,
‘Surely the righteous still are rewarded;
surely there is a God who judges the earth.’

SONGS
Though You Slay Me –
Shane & Shane featuring John Piper
He will hold me fast by Shane and Shane
When I fear my faith will fail
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail
He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold
Through life's fearful path
For my love is often cold
He must hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
Those He saves are His delight
Christ will hold me fast
Precious in His holy sight
He will hold me fast
He'll not let my soul be lost
His promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
For my life He bled and died
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied
He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life
He will hold me fast
Till our faith is turned to sight
When he comes at last
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast..
