Psalm 58:9-11
Easy-to-Read Version
9 May they be destroyed suddenly,
like the thorns that are burned to quickly heat a pot.
10 Good people will be happy
when they see the wicked getting the punishment they deserve.
They will feel like soldiers
walking through the blood of their enemies![a]
11 Then people will say, “Good people really are rewarded.
Yes, there is a God judging the world!”[b]
