Psalm 58:1-2
1599 Geneva Bible

58 1 He describeth the malice of his enemies, the flatterers of Saul, who both secretly and openly sought his destruction, from whom he appealeth to God’s judgment, 10 Showing that the just shall rejoice, when they see the punishment of the wicked to the glory of God.

To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalm of David on Michtam.

1 Is it true? O [a]congregation, speak ye justly? O sons of men judge ye uprightly?

2 Yea, rather ye imagine mischief in your heart: [b]your hands execute cruelty upon the earth.
