Joe: Alright, so let's get into Psalms 58. What does it tell us about?

Bible Expert: Well, Psalms 58 is a prayer for justice. It talks about how wicked rulers oppress the righteous and how God should step in and judge them righteously.

Joe: Wow, that's intense. So what's the prayer asking God to do?

Bible Expert: Well, the psalmist prays that God would break the power of the wicked and take away their weapons that they use to oppress the righteous. And then the psalmist says that when the wicked are judged, they'll realize that God's justice is real and all-powerful.

Joe: That's heavy. So what happens to the wicked?

Bible Expert: The psalmist says that God will break their teeth and shatter their bones, so that they won't be able to oppress the righteous anymore.

Joe: Yikes. That's definitely a tough punishment. Is there anything else in Psalms 58?

Bible Expert: Yes, the psalmist also talks about how the righteous will rejoice when the wicked are judged and God's justice is done. They'll be happy and celebrate because God is the one who delivers justice.
