Context of Psalms 58:10

8Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun. 9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away. The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked. 11Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
