Psalms 58:9

Read in context

Psalms 58:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.

8 Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.

9 Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.

10 The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.

11 Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
