Eternal justice (Psalm 52)

“Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior? Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?’

Doeg the Edomite slaughtered the eighty-five priests of Nob who, as the scripture points out, were in their priestly garments when the atrocity occurred. No matter that it was done at the king’s command, it was a great evil.

It seems all too often the case that justice is thwarted here on this earth. But the living God is a God of eternal justice. No one gets away with anything.
