The Key Word — צַ֭דִּיק, Tza.dikgenerated
The word צַדִּיק (tzaddik) refers to a person who is righteous or just. This term encompasses moral integrity and adherence to God's laws, often used to describe individuals in right standing with God. The parsing is not specified, but its frequent use in scripture highlights its significance in discussions of morality and justice.
In this verse, the righteous are depicted as those who will rejoice when they see God's vengeance against the wicked. This joy is tied to their moral standing and the assurance that justice will prevail.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains one main verb, יִשְׂמַ֣ח (he will rejoice), which governs the subject צַ֭דִּיק (the righteous) and is followed by a clause indicating the reason for their joy: חָזָ֣ה נָקָ֑ם (when they see vengeance). The final action is expressed with another verb, יִ֝רְחַ֗ץ (he will wash), which describes the subsequent act of cleansing.
The structure emphasizes the relationship between the righteous seeing their vindication and their response of joy and action, illustrating a cause-and-effect dynamic in the psalmist's message.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew צַדִּיק is rendered as δίκαιος (dikaios), which also means 'righteous' and carries similar connotations of moral integrity. This choice aligns with the theme of justice present in both texts.
The Greek word for vengeance, ἐκδίκησις (ekdikēsis), indicates a focus on retribution, similar to the Hebrew term, reinforcing the idea of divine justice against wrongdoing.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Psalms 58:10 states, 'The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.' The Septuagint (LXX) has a similar meaning, but the specific wording and structure differ, as it does not provide a direct translation of the MT. The exact wording of the LXX is not provided, but it is noted that 7 of the 9 words correspond to the MT, indicating some level of agreement in meaning, though the phrasing is distinct. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional evidence for this verse, so no further comparisons can be made from those sources.
יִשְׂמַ֣ח צַ֭דִּיק כִּי־ חָזָ֣ה נָקָ֑ם פְּעָמָ֥יו יִ֝רְחַ֗ץ בְּדַ֣ם הָרָשָֽׁע׃
7 of the 9 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.

HR/Ncmsc — Preposition · noun common masculine singular constructHR/Ncmsc
ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
