Couched in old covenant language, the rulers (cf. Psalm 82) of the day are asked whether or not they promote righteousness and restrain evil (cf. Romans 13:3-4). The emphatic answer is no. They have acted as if they are a law unto themselves, doing as they please, creating untold hardship for their subjects. David feels this pain together with all of God\u2019s people and longs for the day when all injustice will be gone. He longs for the day when the Messiah will rule accompanied by all those made righteous through faith. As such it is a prayer for the coming of God&#8217;s kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lyrics and sheet music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gksaportaal.co.za\/worship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/58A_L.pdf\">Psalm 58A Lyrics<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/gksaportaal.co.za\/worship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/58A_SM.pdf\">Psalm 58A Sheet Music (10 10 10 10, ADIRONDACK)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gksaportaal.co.za\/worship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/58B_L.pdf\">Psalm 58B Lyrics<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/gksaportaal.co.za\/worship\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/58B_SM.pdf\">Psalm 58B Sheet Music (88 88 88, LEICESTER)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/music.youtube.com\/watch?v=3pqWW2jbeik\">Psalm 58A &#8211; ADIRONDACK<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/music.youtube.com\/watch?v=KeVh6dVwHHM\">Psalm 58B &#8211; LEICESTER<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternative melodies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Psalm 58A using <a href=\"https:\/\/gksaportaal.co.za\/worship\/psalms\/bsw\/psalm-88\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1782\">ELLERS (88B)<\/a><br>Psalm 58B using <a href=\"https:\/\/gksaportaal.co.za\/worship\/psalms\/bsw\/psalm-73\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1787\">VATER UNSER (73B)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psalm 58 is a prayer for the coming of God\u2019s kingdom.
