 It is important that the Christian should understand that while the Spirit of Christ in his own walk in the world was quite different, and so ought the Christian's, from the desire of judgment expressed in the psalms, yet that that desire is righteous and right in its place, and that the desire of judgment is not self-vengeance, but an appeal to a delivering and righteous God after the perfect patience of the heart under unrighteous oppression, as bowing to the will of God, and learning the lesson He had to teach. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 33-36 by J.N. Darby)
 The unrighteousness of the enemy is manifest in that they hate the godly without cause (vs. 19). (Psalm 35 by H. Smith)
