Today was learning more rules about sacrifices, focusing specifically on peace. I think it can be a bit confusing because there are things that say not to necessary try to take this literally as something we should as specifically as it is mentioned here, and then you see some denominations follow some of these rules implicitly...not necessarily the sacrifice part but the rules on which parts can be consumed.
Psalm 58 is one that we could be praying now as it is a hymn that is sung because they are confronted with unjust rulers. I think that in our current situation we are experiencing that with some of our "rulers".

So a lot must change once we hit the New Testament cuz all these offerings are not followed by most religions anymore.
The psalm does seem to be asking if our rulers are being fair and just. I can see the correlation to times now. It seems the writer is asking God to bring his wrath on the wicked so as to show people the righteous are rewarded and the unrighteous are judged.
