Psalm 58 Bible Study
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, OLord.
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.
This is a Psalm that people who have been violently and evilly done towards may often pray in their mind, but I pray you allow Jesus to pray this prayer on your behalf. The chapter starts with Jesus asking the Church do they indeed speak righteousness.
Are you on the ‘righteousness tip’ at all times? Do you exercise good judgement? You may do so outwardly, but in your heart (mind) you are working wickedness. Depart from that and leave that behavior to the wicked.
Psalm 58
Wicked people go that route as soon as they are born. They start by speaking lies, poisonous lies. Jesus asks the Father to break their teeth and let them melt away like water. This Psalm does get a bit intense on what the Lord wishes for the wicked to go.
But for the righteous, we will rejoice when we see the vengeance of the God of Israel, and when we see it, we’ll definitely know that their is a reward for being righteous. We’ll know that Jesus does judge the earth. Praise God in Jesus name!
