Salmos 58:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 58:6

Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth
From the description of the wicked, the psalmist passes to imprecations on his enemies; whom he represents as cruel and bloodthirsty, and as being stronger than he; and therefore he applies to God, who could, as he sometimes did, smite his enemies on the cheekbone, and break the teeth of the ungodly; which is done by taking the power and instruments of hurting from them: and it may be by "their teeth in their mouth" may be meant their malicious words, calumnies, and detractions; teeth being the instrument of speech; and by "breaking" them, preventing the mischief designed by them;

break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord:
Saul was the old lion; his princes, nobles, and courtiers, the young ones; whose jaw teeth were as knives to devour David and his men, unless plucked out; or God in his providence should interpose, and hinder the performance of their mischievous and cruel designs; and who could easily destroy them by his blast, and by the breath of his nostrils, ( Job 4:9 Job 4:10 ) .

Salmos 58:6 In-Context

4 Tienen veneno como veneno de serpiente; son como una cobra sorda que cierra su oído,

5 que no oye la voz de los que encantan, ni siquiera al más diestro encantador.

6 Oh Dios, rompe los dientes de su boca; quiebra las muelas de los leoncillos, SEÑOR.

7 Que se diluyan como las aguas que corren; cuando disparen sus saetas, que sean como si estuvieran sin punta.

8 Que sean como el caracol, que se deslíe según se arrastra, como los que nacen muertos, que nunca ven el sol.
