“…My tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long” (Psalm 35:28).
This Psalm of David speaks of Jehovah as the deliverer and avenger of the righteous. In verse 10, he writes, “All my bones shall say, ‘Lord, who is like You, Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?’” David asked for God to vindicate him against those who sought his harm. Of course, God did just that, and so showed Himself worthy of the praise promised in our text.
We too have reason to speak of God’s righteousness and praise Him all day long. As He did with David, God promises to deliver and avenge us. He must do this because He is a righteous and loving God. For this we are grateful.
“…It is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels” (2 Thessalonians 1:6-7).
The righteous are promised rest, but God will take “vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (verse 8). We pray that all who read these words are warned, and are among the saints who glorify Him.
