Psalm 58:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 Remove them quickly,
more quickly than pots become hot over a fire of thorn bushes.[a]
10 When God punishes those wicked people,
righteous people will be very happy.
They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked people!
11 People who see it will say,
‘It is true! God helps good people!
There is a God who judges people on earth in a fair way.’
