Verse 2 is found in chapter 58 of Psalms. Psalm 58 denounces rulers or judges who should administer justice but use their authority to produce violence. The opening question directly accuses human judicial corruption. Intense images of serpents and teeth being broken express the desire for evil to be neutralized. The conclusion affirms that there is a God who judges on earth, preserving the conviction that human injustice does not have the final word.
