Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.

And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
