PSALM 58

GOD WHO JUDGES THE EARTH

David speaks on the righteousness of God’s judgment in contrast to the evil and injustice on earth. David has harsh, extreme words for the wicked, saying they are like snails that dissolve into slime. Throughout his life, David has been chased down and threatened by violent, ungodly men, which leads him to cry out to God pleading for the righteous to be rewarded. 

Psalm 58:11 - Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
