Let those gods arise and help you! Let them provide you with shelter!Look now; I myself am he! There is no other god but me! I am the one who kills and gives life; I am the one who wounds and heals; no one can be rescued from my powerful hand!Now I raise my hand to heaven and declare,“ As surely as I live,when I sharpen my flashing sword and begin to carry out justice, I will take revenge on my enemies and repay those who reject me.I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh— the blood of the slaughtered and the captives, and the heads of the enemy leaders.”’“ Rejoice with him, you heavens, and let all of God’s angels worship him. Rejoice with his people, you Gentiles, and let all the angels be strengthened in him. For he will avenge the blood of his children; he will take revenge against his enemies. He will repay those who hate him and cleanse his people’s land.”

Psalms 102:13-18
You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem— and now is the time to pity her, now is the time you promised to help.For your people love every stone in her walls and cherish even the dust in her streets.Then the nations will tremble before the Lord. The kings of the earth will tremble before his glory.For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem. He will appear in his glory.He will listen to the prayers of the destitute. He will not reject their pleas.Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a people not yet born will praise the Lord.
