Do ye, O men, speak right­eous­ness
And up­right judg­ment mete?
Nay, in your hearts is wick­ed­ness,
And in your hands de­ceit,
And in your hands de­ceit.

The wick­ed, from their ear­li­est days,
In sin are gone as­tray,
With fro­ward heart, in fool­ish pride,
From wis­dom turned away,
From wis­dom turned away.

The God of ven­geance will de­stroy
The wick­ed from His sight;
The Lord will bring to naught their pow­er
And scat­ter all their might,
And scat­ter all their might.

The good shall tri­umph and re­joice,
And this shall be con­fessed:
On earth the God of jus­tice reigns,
And right­eous­ness is blest,
And right­eous­ness is blest.
