Psalms 94:6. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
Do you wonder that the psalmist prayed, "O God of vengeance, show thyself"? Can you see the fatherless robbed, and the widow and the stranger oppressed, without feeling your indignation burn? He who is never indignant has no virtue in him. He who cannot burn like coals of juniper against evil does not truly love righteousness. The psalmist was not a man of that sort, he was righteously angry with the wicked, who slew the widow and the stranger, and murdered the fatherless.
