8 Like to a snail that melts away, Let them all [pass and] hence be gone; That like the womb's untimely birth, They never see the [shining] sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, Away [in wrath] he shall them drive; And with his whirlwind's angry storms Sweep them away [from hence] alive.
10 The righteous shall rejoice, when he [This just] revenge from God shall see; And in the blood of wicked men Even wash his [conquering] feet shall he.
10 The righteous shall rejoyce, when he [This just] revenge from God shall see; And in the blood of wicked men Even wash his [conquering] feet shall he.
11 Then men shall say, Truly there is For righteous men [a great] reward: Surely there is a God that doth The earth judge, and [mens works] regard.
