🌙 Psalms 58

Psalms 58 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.” Psalms 58 opens with these words: “Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?” The line to keep is Psalms 58:2: “No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.” Carry the word “heart” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 58:2: “No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 58? Then try this: Read “No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
