Justice-do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge people fairly? No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.

They spit venom like deadly snakes; they are like cobras who refuse to listen, ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully they play. (vv. 1-5, NLT)

God will sweep them away, both young and old, faster than a pot heats over burning thorns. The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged. The will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.

All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of Your wings. You feed them from the abundance of Your own house, letting them drink from Your river of delights. For You are the fountain of life, by which we see.
