Bible
Quiz – Psalm 58
Advanced “Cross-Reference Trap” Round (Fill in the Blanks)
The
book of Psalms often uses phrases, metaphors, and themes that appear in other
parts of Scripture. Because of this, readers sometimes confuse verses from
different passages.
This
Cross-Reference Trap Round focuses on lines from Psalm 58, traditionally
attributed to David, that resemble wording from other Psalms or Bible passages.
The challenge is simple: complete the verse exactly as it appears in Psalm 58,

Fill
in the missing word(s) exactly as they appear in Psalm 58.
