Bible Reading for April 30

Psalms 58
[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.

Psalms 59
[1] Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise
up against me.
[2] Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
[3] For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against
me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. [4] They run and
prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
[5] Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit
all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. [6]
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about
the city.
[7] Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for
who, say they, doth hear?
[8] But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen
in derision.
[9] Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
[10] The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire
upon mine enemies.
[11] Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and
bring them down, O Lord our shield. [12] For the sin of their mouth and the
words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing
and lying which they speak. [13] Consume them in wrath, consume them, that
they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends
of the earth. Selah. [14] And at evening let them return; and let them make
a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
[15] Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
[16] But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in
the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my
trouble.
[17] Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the
God of my mercy.

Psalms 60
[1] O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been
displeased; O turn thyself to us again. [2] Thou hast made the earth to
tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
[3] Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the
wine of astonishment.
[4] Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth. Selah. [5] That thy beloved may be
delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
[6] God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth. [7] Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is
mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
[8] Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia,
triumph thou because of me.
[9] Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
[10] Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which
didst not go out with our armies?
[11] Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. [12] Through
God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
