Psalm 58 in its entirety ... Praise be the Lord for His righteous judgement!
58 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
[SUP]
2 [/SUP]Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
[SUP]
3 [/SUP]The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
[SUP]
4 [/SUP]Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
[SUP]
5 [/SUP]Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
[SUP]
6 [/SUP]Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
[SUP]
7 [/SUP]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.
[SUP]
8 [/SUP]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.
[SUP]
9 [/SUP]Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
[SUP]
10 [/SUP]The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
[SUP]
11 [/SUP]So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

The Psalmist first points out in 58, verse one: "Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?"
And then in verses two thru five, the Psalmist gives His answer: "Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely."
LOL!

The Psalmist's petition are in verses six through eight: "Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord. 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. 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."
And God's righteous judgement are in verses nine through eleven: "Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth."
So as I said at the beginning ... Praise be the Lord!

To think there was a really Bible Discussion going on in the Misc. forum and I almost missed it!!
When I was depressed about 10 years ago from the pain and suffering of RA. I turned away from God. He whispered in my ear to read the Psalms. About the same time, I heard that Billy Graham read 5 Psalms a day. I did that for about 2 years, and God just spoke to me and restored me, in spite of my health issues. I do not let a day go by without reading from the Psalms, they are that inspiring to me!
I have so many passages from the Psalms, I hardly know where to start. But I will give you a life verse God gave me, which helped me obey God's call that I go to Seminary.
Psalm 71:17-18
"God, You have taught me from my youth,
and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Even when I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me.
Then I will proclaim Your power
to another generation,
Your strength to all who are to come." ESV
I now proclaim God to the next generation and also to the generation before me, and my own generation. Even if we are old and/or sick, God calls us to be his workers in a field that is white unto harvest.
Wonderful post, it was a joy to read all the verses in Psalms which people love!

) But in the Scriptures which deal with David at various stages of His life, God was with him evidently all the way.
[h=3]Psalm 1[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[h=3]Psalm 1[/h][SUP]1 [/SUP]Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]The ungodly are not so:
but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
