10 The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
10 The righteous will call up their friends when they see the wicked get their reward, Serve up their blood in goblets as they toast one another,
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
10 The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged. They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 58:10
Commentary on Psalm 58:6-11
(Read Psalm 58:6-11)
David prayed that the enemies of God's church and people might be disabled to do further mischief. We may, in faith, pray against the designs of the enemies of the church. He foretells their ruin. And who knows the power of God's anger? The victories of the Just One, in his own person and that of his servants, over the enemies of man's salvation, produce a joy which springs not from revenge, but from a view of the Divine mercy, justice, and truth, shown in the redemption of the elect, the punishment of the ungodly, and the fulfilment of the promises. Whoever duly considers these things, will diligently seek the reward of righteousness, and adore the Providence which orders all thing aright in heaven and in earth.
