Psalm 57 [58 Si vere utique]
To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.
1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation?
do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness;
ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb;
they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent;
they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,
charming never so wisely.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth;
break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually;
when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in
pieces.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away:
like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,
he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his
wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance;
he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the
righteous;
verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

After the war two Army Chaplains were mustering out. The one said to
the other "Chaplain, it has been a real pleasure serving God with you.
You in your way, and I in His."
