Psalms94:1

PSAL. XCIV.

VErſ. 1. O Lord God to whom vengeance belongeth] Heb. Jehovah God of revenges; ſo Jer. 51.56. The Lord God of recompences. Vengeance is mine ſaith He, I will repay, Deut. 32.35. And it is beſt he ſhould; for he returneth a juſt recompence of reward, Heb. 2.2. whereas men ſeek oft an unequall revenge, as a ſtab for the lye given; and beſides, in ſeeking the lives of others,Heb. 10.30. they ſometimes loſe their own.

Shew thy ſelf] Heb. Shine forth, appear for thy poor wronged ſervant. David knew the Law, and ſubmitted to it; he turneth over his enemies to God to bee ordered by him; neither did he himſelf herein any diſ-ſervice. I ſeek not mine own glory (ſo mine own revenge) ſaith Chriſt; but there is one that ſeeketh it. God never faileth to do it, to be their Champion, who ſtrive not for themſelves, only they muſt wait his leiſure, and not preoccupate his executions.
