SCRIPTURE

"God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day." — Psalms 7:11 (ASV)

God judges. —The two clauses answer to each other; so the margin, God is a righteous judge, and God avengeth every day. The Septuagint, God is a just judge, and strong and longsuffering, not letting loose his anger every day. The Vulgate, Still is he not angry with the wicked? The Syriac, God is the judge of righteousness. He is not angry every day. It has been proposed to read véal—“and not”—instead of veél—“and God”—in conformity with these versions, but unnecessarily.
