David wrote this prayer.

God will judge all people[a]

58 Do you rulers really say what is right?
    Do you judge people in a fair way?

    You like to think of evil things to do.
You make cruel things happen
    everywhere in the land.

Footnotes

  1. 58:1 In this psalm, David asks God to punish his enemies. He knows that God is fair. He always does what is right. God is the one who judges everybody in a fair way. The Hebrew in some of the verses is very hard to understand. If you read other Bible translations, you will find that some of the verses seem different.
