Context of Psalms 58:10

8Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun. 9Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
