Psalm 58:7-11 “Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt. Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun. Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike. The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked, so that men shall say, ‘Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.’ ”

It is probably worth noting that these types of Psalms assume that the wicked are unrepentant, and therefore fully deserve the Lord’s wrath. God’s mercy is always available, but there are many who refuse it. Indeed, there are those who continually rebel against God, His Word, and His servants. We understand that, although they may appear to be getting away with their rebellion in this life, there is a reckoning coming: “Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”

Matthew 25:31-33 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”
