Then the man from Cush arrived. He said,“ You are my king and master. I’m bringing you some good news. The Lord has shown that you are in the right. He has done this by rescuing you today from all those trying to kill you.”

古示人也来到，说：“有信息报给我主我王！耶和华今日向一切兴起攻击你的人给你报仇了。”

看哪，古实人也来到，说：“有信息报给我主我王！耶和华今日为你伸冤，使你脱离一切起来攻击你之人的手。”

Then the Cushite arrived and said,“ My lord the king, hear the good news! The Lord has vindicated you today by delivering you from the hand of all who rose up against you.”

And behold, the Cushite came, and the Cushite said,“ Good news for my lord the king! For the Lord has delivered you this day from the hand of all who rose up against you.”

Then the man from Ethiopia arrived and said,“ I have good news for my lord the king. Today the Lord has rescued you from all those who rebelled against you.”

Just then the Cushite came and said,“ May my lord the king hear the good news: The LORD has vindicated you today by freeing you from all who rise against you!”

Then behold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said,“ Let my lord the king receive good news, for the Lord has freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you.”

Just then the Cushite came, and the Cushite said,“ There is good news, my Lord the king! For the Lord has avenged you this day of all those who rose against you.”

And, behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, Tidings for my lord the king; for Jehovah hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

Just then the Cushite came and said,“ May my lord the king hear the good news: today the Lord has delivered you from all those rising up against you!”

And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

Then the Cushite arrived and said,“ May my lord the king now receive the good news! The LORD has vindicated you today and delivered you from the hand of all who have rebelled against you!”

Behold, the Cushite came. The Cushite said,“ News for my lord the king, for Yahweh has avenged you today of all those who rose up against you.”

Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab,“ Let me run and take the news to the king. Let me tell him that the Lord has shown that David is in the right. The Lord has done this by saving David from his enemies.”

The Lord is a God who punishes. Since you are the one who punishes, come and show your anger.Judge of the earth, rise up. Pay back proud people for what they have done.Lord, how long will those who are evil be glad? How long will they be full of joy?Proud words pour out of their mouths. All those who do evil are always bragging.

I punish people. I will pay them back. The time will come when their feet will slip. Their day of trouble is near. Very soon they will be destroyed.”The Lord will come to the aid of his people. He’ll show tender love to those who serve him. He will know when their strength is gone. He’ll see that no one at all is left.

Godly people will be glad when those who have hurt them are paid back. They will dip their feet in the blood of those who do evil.

God’s chosen people cry out to him day and night. Won’t he make things right for them? Will he keep putting them off?I tell you, God will see that things are made right for them. He will make sure it happens quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find people on earth who have faith?”

Then Ahimaaz called out to the king,“ Everything’s all right!” He bowed down in front of the king with his face toward the ground. He said,“ You are my king and master. Give praise to the Lord your God! He has handed over to you those who lifted their hands to kill you.”

He is the God who pays back my enemies. He brings the nations under my control.He sets me free from my enemies. You have honored me more than them. You have saved me from a man who wanted to hurt me.

Suppose the Lord had not been on our side when our enemies attacked us.Suppose he had not been on our side when their burning anger blazed out against us. Then they would have swallowed us alive.
