Verses 10-11
10, 11. These verses present the acquiescence of the righteous in the just judgment of the wicked, and the happy deliverance of the godly.
Vengeance Judicial justice.
Wash his feet in the blood The figure of a battle field is supposed, where the wicked are wholly defeated, and in the pursuit the righteous, in passing over the ground occupied by the routed foe, and all along the pursuit, wet their feet in their blood. The language is harsh, suited to primitive times, but simply denotes the total discomfiture of the wicked. So also such passages as Deuteronomy 32:42-43; Psalms 68:23; Jeremiah 46:10.
A reward… a God that judgeth The moral end of all the language and figures of the psalm must be qualified by, and is realized in, these words: There is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
