Commentary on Psalms 58:1
Theological / DevotionalO congregation. Heb. ’elem, the meaning of which is obscure and many definitions have been suggested. The translation of the RSV, “gods,” is from ’elim. The LXX and the Vulgate consider ’elem an intensive adverb further emphasizing the adverb “indeed.” It is impossible to know precisely what the psalmist intended to express by ’elem.
The ironical rhetorical questions of v. 1 introduce the theme of the psalm. They are addressed to the unjust judges in the land.
