Psalms 58

58[For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be sung to the tune “Do Not Destroy!”] Justice—do you rulersc know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly?H5329H516H4387H1732H552H1696H6664H482H8199H4339H1121H1202No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.H3820H6466H5766H6424H2555H3027H7763These wicked people are born sinners; even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.H7563H2114H7358H8582H990H1696H35774They spit venom like deadly snakes; they are like cobras that refuse to listen,H2534H1823H2534H5175H2795H6620H331H2415ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully they play.H8085H6963H3907H2266H2267H24496Break off their fangs, O God! Smash the jaws of these lions, O Lord!H2040H8127H430H6310H5422H4459H3715H30687May they disappear like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their handsc.H3988H4325H1980H1869H2671H41358May they be like snails that dissolve into slime, like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.H7642H8557H1980H5309H802H2372H81219God will sweep them away, both young and old, faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.H5518H995H329H8175H2416H274010The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged. They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.H6662H8055H2372H5359H7364H6471H1818H756311Then at last everyone will say, “There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.”H120H559H6529H6662H3426H430H8199H776

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
