³¹ And lo, the Cushite hath come, and the Cushite saith, `Let tidings be proclaimed, my lord, O king; for Jehovah hath delivered thee to-day out of the hand of all those rising up against thee.'

¹⁹ And Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, `Let me run, I pray thee, and I bear the king tidings, for Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of his enemies;'

³⁵ Mine `are' vengeance and recompense, At the due time -- doth their foot slide; For near is a day of their calamity, And haste do things prepared for them.

³⁶ For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants doth repent Himself. For He seeth -- the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.

²⁸ And Ahimaaz calleth and saith unto the king, `Peace;' and he boweth himself to the king, on his face, to the earth, and saith, `Blessed `is' Jehovah thy God who hath shut up the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king.'

⁴⁸ God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,

⁴⁹ And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.

¹⁰ The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.

¹ God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.

² Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.

³ Till when `do' the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?

⁴ They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.

² Save `for' Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

³ Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

⁷ and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them?

⁸ I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'
