https://doi.org/10.62042/jtp.v7i1.109Psalm 58:1-12 is one of the imprecatory psalms that contains a strong rebuke against structural injustice committed by leaders. In the context of contemporary Indonesia, issues such as corruption, social inequality, and discrimination are still serious challenges that require a theological-biblical approach for understanding and solutions. This study aims to be a prophetic rebuke against injustice and explore the theological perspective of the struggle against inequality and corruption. This study uses an exegetical approach with textual criticism methods, semantic analysis, and morphology by referring to the views of experts such as Hans-Joachim Kraus, Walter Brueggemann, and Artur Weiser. The results of this study are that Psalm 58 condemns structural injustice committed by leaders and calls for divine retribution for inequality that damages the social order. In the context of Indonesia, this psalm provides a theological framework to criticize the phenomena of corruption, social inequality, and discrimination. Psalm 58:1-12 remains relevant as a source of theological inspiration in the struggle against contemporary injustice.
