  Judging Are we allowed?
  

  Psalm 58: 'Do You Judge People Fairly?'

  Psalm 58

  Prayer for Vengeance
  To the leader: Do Not Destroy. Of David. A Miktam.
  Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?
  Do you judge people fairly?
  No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
  your hands deal out violence on earth.
  
  

  
  

  
  

  The wicked go astray from the womb;
  they err from their birth, speaking lies.
  They have venom like the venom of a serpent,
  like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
  so that it does not hear the voice of charmers
  or of the cunning enchanter.
  
  O God, break the teeth in their mouths;
  tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
  Let them vanish like water that runs away;
  like grass let them be trodden down and wither.
  Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime;
  like the untimely birth that never sees the sun.
  Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns,
  whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
  
  The righteous will rejoice when they see vengeance done;
  they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
  People will say, 'Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
  surely there is a God who judges on earth.'
  
  
  I know who judges fairly, we may never be a "fair" judge ourselves, but it is up to us to try to be a fair and balanced judge. Oh I know here we go "Judge not lest yea be judged" right? WRONG I will me measured by the same stick I judge with so therefor judge righteously, not foolishly. Don't squawk about not judging, if people do not judge daily then people would die like the moth drawn to the flame. We must judge; is their time to cross the street?, which meat looks better at the store, is this dress appropriate, did I study enough? And these judgments are either right or wrong. Go ahead the next interview you go on wear your favorite party outfit to it, see if you get called for the job, or use your judgment and think you know enough for the paper, your grade will show if you judged it correctly.
  
  Now that everyone understands they judge, do it with thought, with righteous measure be kind, and quick to forgive and long to understand. Be just if you are not involved in your country and her matters, that is the first sign to showing good judgment.
  
  Be Blessed and Praise God Loudly!
