Psalm 26:10

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Whose hands mischievous plots, right hand corrupting bribes do fill.

See the chapter Copy

Thy tongue mischievous calumnies deviseth subtilely, Like to a razor sharp to cut, working deceitfully.

He mischief, lying on his bed, most cunningly doth plot: He sets himself in ways not good, ill he abhorreth not.

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, their shafts on string they fit, That those who upright are in heart they privily may hit.

Thou hast it seen; for their mischief and spite thou wilt repay: The poor commits himself to thee; thou art the orphan's stay.
