Psalms 58 Study & Commentary
Psalm 58 is a strong rebuke of unjust judges. David calls for God to break the teeth of the wicked and asserts that there is indeed a reward for the righteous.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. The Reality of Judgment: Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth (v. 11).2. Innate Sinfulness: The wicked are "estranged from the womb" (v. 3). This highlights the need for the transforming power of the Gospel.
