Psalm 58

1. For the permanent collection (do not destroy). A special poem written by David.

Have you come to right conclusions in your mind? Are your criticisms and condemnations valid? 2 In reality your heart emotions are so violently perverted that your actions toward others become oppressively cruel. 3-5 This hostility, which is caused by the lies you believe, passes on as an inheritance to your children. Then they also believe and speak burning, acid, lie based words. Neither will they listen to or accept what anyone else says no matter how true it might be.

6-7 Lord, You are the only One who can break through their defensive cover of lies, reach them, wash away the contempt and enable the lies to be exposed, which will ultimately destroy those errors.

8 Let every lie melt away as slime dries up in sunlight. Let all falsehoods be buried as a baby who died at birth.

9 God will intensely and rapidly sweep away all lies - both new and old - even before you might realize what is happening.

10 Those who choose the right will leap for joy as they experience cleansing from all the lies which had previously caused hostility and separation between them and God.

11 Even hypocrites will admit: "Yes, God rewards those who agree with Him." God vindicates Himself right here on this earth.
