Psalm 58:9-11
Good News Translation
9 Before they know it, they are cut down like weeds;
in his fierce anger God will blow them away
while they are still living.[a]
10 The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished;
they will wade through the blood of the wicked.
11 People will say, “The righteous are indeed rewarded;
there is indeed a God who judges the world.”
