2 Samuel 18:19

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.

Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;

Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries,

And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment.

For You have maintained my just cause;
You have sat on the throne

judging righteously.

You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand.
The

unfortunate commits himself to You;

You have been the helper of the orphan.

Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

A rebellious man seeks only evil,
So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
