NO MORE GRACE
based on Psalms 55 & 58
Evening and night, morning and at noon
I’ll cry out to Him when I’m in distress
For there are many who oppose me
And there are many who oppress
And the battle is waged against me all around
The wicked raises his hands against his friends
He has violated his Covenant of Peace
Though his mouth is smooth as butter —
In his heart there is raging war
For the wicked never changes, they never change
The righteous shall rejoice when they see the vengeance
And all the afflicted everywhere shall say,
Most certainly there’s a reward for the wicked
Most certainly there’s a GOD who judges the earth!
The wicked go astray from the womb
There’re wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies
Their poison is of a snake
Like deaf cobra that stops its ear
O God, let them vanish like water that flows away!
The wicked shall not live out half their days
Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away
Though their words are softer than oil —
They’re drawn swords to kill and destroy
But as YAHUAH lives, they all will get their due!
The righteous shall rejoice when they see the vengeance
And all the afflicted everywhere shall say,
Most certainly there’s a reward for the wicked
Most certainly there’s a GOD who judges the earth!

PSALM 55 (KJV)
1 Give ear to my prayer, O GOD; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
9 Destroy, O LORD, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon GOD; and YAHUAH shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 GOD shall hear, and afflict them, even He that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not GOD. (For the wicked never changes!)
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22 Cast thy burden upon YAHUAH, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 But Thou, O GOD, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in Thee.
PSALM 58 (KJV)
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 YAHUAH.
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 of YAHUAH: 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!
