Context of Psalms 58:10

8Like a slug that moves along in slime, like a woman’s miscarried child, may they not see the sun. 9Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns — whether green or burning — he will sweep them away. The righteous one will rejoice when he sees the retribution; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11Then people will say, “Yes, there is a reward for the righteous! There is a God who judges on earth!”
