Right is Difficult But the Payoff is Eternal Life –Image: The Four Men
God the Avenger of the Righteous
Happy are are those whom you discipline, O Lord and whom you teach out of your law, giving them respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
For the Lord will not forsake His people, He will not abandon His heritage, for justice will return to the righteous and all the upright in heart will follow it.
Who rises up for Me against the wicked? Who stands up for Me against evildoers? If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
When I thought, ‘My foot is slipping’ Your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. When the care of my heart are many, Your consolations cheer my soul.
Can wicked rulers be allied with You, those who contrive mischief by statute? They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death but the Lord has become my stronghold and my God, the rock of my refuge.
He will will repay them for their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness, the Lord Our God will wipe them out. –Psalm 94:12-23
