BECAUSEHIS JUDGMENTSARE true AND RIGHTEOUS;for He has judgedthe greatharlotwhowas corruptingthe earthwith her immorality,and HE HAS AVENGEDTHE BLOODOF HIS BOND-SERVANTSON HER."
You shall strikethe houseof Ahabyour master,that I may avengethe bloodof My servantsthe prophets,and the bloodof allthe servantsof the LORD,at the handof Jezebel.
The fearof the LORDis clean,enduringforever;The judgmentsof the LORDare true;they are righteousaltogether.
O LORD,You are my God;I will exaltYou, I will givethanksto Your name;For You have workedwonders,Plans[formed] longago,with perfectfaithfulness.
But the courtwill sit[for judgment], and his dominionwill be takenaway,annihilatedand destroyedforever.
Vengeanceis Mine, and retribution,In due timetheir footwill slip;For the dayof their calamityis near,And the impendingthingsare hasteningupon them.'
"The Rock!His workis perfect,For allHis waysare just;A Godof faithfulnessand withoutinjustice,Righteousand uprightis He.
"Rejoice,O nations,[with] His people;For He will avengethe bloodof His servants,And will rendervengeanceon His adversaries,And will atonefor His land[and] His people."
And they sangthe songof Moses,the bond-servantof God,and the songof the Lamb,saying,"Greatand marvelousare Your works,O LordGod,the Almighty;Righteousand true are Your ways,Kingof the nations!
"Rejoiceoverher, O heaven,and you saintsand apostlesand prophets,becauseGodhas pronouncedjudgmentfor you againsther."

and they criedout with a loudvoice,saying,"How long,O Lord,holyand true,will You refrainfrom judgingand avengingour bloodon thosewho dwellon the earth?"
