Commentary on Psalms 58:9

Theological / Devotional

Before your pots. The picture is not entirely clear. Some think it is that of desert nomads building a fire in the open air; a gust of wind puts out the fire before the cooking vessels are warmed. The force of the illustration is to express the psalmist’s desire that the destruction of the wicked may take place quickly.
