The righteous shall be glad when he seeth the vengeance; not that he shall be glad of the vengeance, purely as it is a hurt, or a suffering to the creature, but the righteous shall be glad when he seeth the vengeance of God, as it is a fulfilling of the threatening of God against the sin of man, and an evidence of his own holiness.
