Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge people with equity? No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions! Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short. May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along, like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.
Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns— whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.
The righteous will be glad when they are avenged when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked. Then people will say, “Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.”
From the time when he was in hiding from Saul. Circumstances may be black, but those who fill their minds with God can sing his praise, come what may. Paul and Silas also knew the truth of this.
Why?
The slug under the sun will melt away as it moves along. So as the evil men.
The rulers indeed speak justly? No, all of us knew they are no righteous. Unjustice and lie are full of this world for all men who are sinners.
We will see that the evildoer will vanish and go away. Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.

v1-5:指出地上不義的法官，最後指出最後不義的人遭報
你們指的是地方法官、地方的政權，為何不按正直審判?因為所有的人，都是惡人。用什麼方法，他們都聽不見，不願意聽被欺壓者的聲音。地上政權是神設立的，目的要叫做惡的害怕。很多暴政怕基督徒，因為他們都是不義的人。不義的人掌權，神必使其倒下，受審判。所以民主制度就是不相信人。
v6-11:只有耶和華執行公義的審判。惡人完全沒有指望，如懷孕死去的胎。
不要把期望寄託在地上的政權，如果不按神的公義行事，必被神拔去。我們的盼望在神的主權上。地上果然有施行公義審判的神。

How?
Do not frustrated, be strong for the Lord sees all men's heart and their deed, God will judge everyone depends on he has done.
