◄ Psalm 56:7 and Romans 12:19 link? ►
How does Psalm 56:7 connect with Romans 12:19 on vengeance?

Psalm 56:7: “In retaliation for their iniquity, do not let them escape; in Your anger, O God, bring down the nations.”

Romans 12:19: “Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: ‘Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.’ ”

• Both verses place vengeance exclusively in God’s hands.

• David’s plea (Psalm 56:7) shows trust that God Himself will judge; he takes no personal revenge.

• Paul commands believers (Romans 12:19) to adopt the same posture, citing Deuteronomy 32:35.

• Scripture consistently teaches this theme (cf. Psalm 94:1; 1 Samuel 24:12; Nahum 1:2).
