belongetha,
shew thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou
ajudge of the earth: render a breward to
the proud.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long
shall the wicked atriumph?

1a to whom vengeance belongeth
Vengeance is the Lord's, he will repay; and we are to forgive all men.
(Mormon 8:20, Mormon 3:15, Romans 12:19, Isaiah 63:4) Only in Romans 12:19 is
clearly stated in the Bible with a close similar phrase in Isaiah 63:4, that
'Vengeance is mine' ... saith the Lord, but due to this reference in Psalms
and the statement of Mormon in the Book of Mormon, we must see that
some common scripture before David was so written from which all have taken
their idea. Romans states it is written and Mormon also states that it is
written in scripture that not only 'vengeance' but also 'judgment' is the
Lord's. Even Moses seems but to paraphrase the concept in Deuteronomy 32:35,
'To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; ... '. But to which
original prophet and scripture Moses, David, Isaiah, Paul and Mormon did
commonly look? It may be best stated plainly by Mormon who must have had that
original script found in the plates of brass, for he doth state it best,
similar to Paul's rendition who also testified that it was so written. And
thus he too must have had some scripture that is no longe of the Bible record.
Such plain and precious renditions have been lost but now restored but yet
to be further revealed in their fulness. What else is their beyond this? We
only can look forward to the rest of the more plain word of God to be given.
