1 Samuel 26:10

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”

For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me;” says the Lord, “I will repay.” Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.

They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”

May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.

For we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.

The king said to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” The Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you to do you harm, be as that young man is.”

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. Yahweh has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. Their doom rushes at them.”

In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
