**Psalms 28:4** — *"Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve."*
David wrote this from a place of genuine threat — men who smiled at him while sharpening their knives behind their backs. This is not a prayer of hatred. It is a prayer of *covenant confidence* — a steward handing judgment back to the only One whose scales are perfectly calibrated.
There is a particular grace in releasing retribution to God. Not because evil doesn't wound us. It does. But because when we clutch the gavel ourselves, we become something we were never meant to be.
Scripture reminds us that vengeance withheld is not weakness — it is wisdom rooted in trust. Romans 12:19 echoes David's cry: *"Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."*
Walk with open hands today. Let the Shepherd carry what was never yours to hold.
