Psalm 58:1
“Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?”
KJV
Read in Psalm 58Meaning
The opening question is accusatory rather than abstract: those entrusted with judgment are measured by whether they actually uphold what is right among people.
Corrupt justice exposed
The opening accuses those responsible for judgment of inward corruption and outward violence.
Read carefully
The verse condemns unjust judgment; it does not justify indiscriminate suspicion or hatred of whole classes of people.
Reflection
Evaluate claims and actions carefully, support lawful accountability, and protect those harmed without collapsing into hatred.
