[xzins]

I suspect xzins is viscerally opposed to the doctrine that infants enter the world speaking lies. Just read his posts on the subject.

It's a "triumph" psalm that speaks of the conflict between the wicked and the godly. It says that the godly are gonna wash their feet in the blood of the wicked....guess we're gonna take that one literally, right?

It says that these wicked folks begin going astray as soon as they're born. Well, it also says that they're like poisonous young snakes and that God should kill them while they're young.

Then they'll go to heaven, no doubt. Killing babies for Jesus.

Actually, the point of the psalm is that Judgement will eventually fall on those evil ones who seem to glide by without anyone apparently keeping them in line.

If the Bible says it, I am prepared to believe it.

I believe what the Bible says....
.....No matter what.

But the passage you cite:

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. (Psalm 58:10)

Actually speaks of "the righteous" as a singular individual. Now, it's possible that it is hereby speaking of "the righteous man" in general, i.e., any righteous redeemed man. But the singular usage suggests that it is speaking of The Righteous Man in particular, the Conquering Messiah who returns to earth for the purpose of destroying His enemies and throwing them into Hell. As such, it is probably cross-referential to the prophecy thereafter given in Isaiah 63:3-4, where Jesus declares the coming of His Day of Wrath, when he will slaughter all the enemies of the Father:

I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

Since Vengeance belongs to the Lord, I tend to regard Psalm 58:10 as bespeaking the Wrath of the Lamb. Not "the righteous man" in general, but The Righteous Man in particular, shall be the One who will wrathfully wash His feet in the blood of the wicked, and spatter their blood upon His garments.

And according to Deuteronomy 32: 40-43, the Redeemed of the Lord are not to take vengeance themselves (Hebrews 10:30), but rather to rejoice when the Lord slaughters His enemies:

See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

But does your "theology" allow this? Can you obey the Command of the Lord to rejoice when He makes His arrows drunk with the blood of the slain?

I rather doubt it.

Your "theology" does not allow you to read the Bible as it is written.
Gosh, you hate the Bible as it is written. Your "theology" compels you to re-word the Bible.

Because your "theology" is Anti-Biblical.

It says that these wicked folks begin going astray as soon as they're born. Well, it also says that they're like poisonous young snakes and that God should kill them while they're young.

Actually, it says,

Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. (Psalm 58:6)

"Cubs" do not have "great teeth". They do not have "great teeth" until they are grown into Young Lions, imitators of their father the Devil, who "as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8)

But the Elect have no cause to fear these young lions. Jesus of Nazareth intends to break their teeth (Psalm 58:6), trample them underfoot and splatter their blood upon His garments (Isaiah 63:3-4) and make His arrows drunk with their blood (Deuteronomy 32: 40-43). We, His People, simply rejoice; for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries.

Then they'll go to heaven, no doubt. Killing babies for Jesus.

No, the Psalmist says that Jesus is going to break their teeth as young lions, not as cubs. They will grow into years of accomplished Blasphemy before He, in His Wrath, tramples them underfoot and spatters their blood upon His garments.

After all, if His Father intended to Elect them unto Heaven as infants, He could call them home in infancy, if He saw fit.

But He has seen fit to permit the Reprobate to grow into "young lions" before He makes His arrows drunk with their blood.

Actually, the point of the Psalm is to believe what it says.

To a Calvinist, it is not really that hard to believe that God says what he means, and means what He says.

At least, that is the CALVINIST approach to Scripture.
