God expects his faithful people to be meek and lowly. Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Though you look well at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall possess the land, and delight themselves in an abundance of peace. The psalm tells us to leave vindication to God.
Christians belong to the age to come.
It cannot be Gospel-loving Christians who cry out for the state to carry out vengeance. It is the meek, not those who demand an eye for an eye, who are the blessed inheritors of the Kingdom. So says the Word of God. His life is not a life at court. In this respect, Jesus stands radically opposed to the Zealots and to all champions of a political Messianism.
