- Κύριε κρίνων δίκαια, δοκιμάζων νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, ἴδοιμι τὴν παρὰ σοῦ ἐκδίκησιν ἐξ αὐτῶν, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ ἀπεκάλυψα τὸ δικαίωμά μου.

Haydock's commentary
Sabaoth. That is, of hosts or armies; a name frequently given to God, in the Scriptures.
Thy revenge. This was rather a prediction of what was to happen, with an approbation of the divine justice, than an imprecation. (Challoner)
He speaks of the impenitent, (St. Jerome) and wishes they may be converted.
