Psalm 58
Concise Complete
Wicked judges described and reproved. (1-5) A prayer that they may be
disabled, and their ruin predicted. (6-11)
Verses 1-5 When
wrong is done under the form of law, it is worse than any other; especially it
is grievous to behold those who profess to be children of God, joining together
against any of his people. We should thank the Lord for merciful restraints; we
should be more earnest in seeking renewing grace, more watchful over ourselves,
and more patient under the effects of fallen nature in others. The corruption of
their nature was the root of bitterness. We may see in children the wickedness
of the world beginning. They go astray from God and their duty as soon as
possibly they can. And how soon will little children tell lies! It is our duty
to take pains to teach them, and above all, earnestly to pray for converting
grace to make our children new creatures. Though the poison be within, much of
it may be kept from breaking forth to injure others. When the Saviour's words
are duly regarded, the serpent becomes harmless. But those who refuse to hear
heavenly wisdom, must perish miserably, for ever.
Verses 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.
