Contradiction with Romans 12:19
This verse advocates leaving vengeance to God and not seeking personal retribution, opposing the call for visible divine retribution in Psalms 79:10.

Paradox #1
Psalms 79:10 is a plea for God to show His power to the nations and avenge the suffering of His people. A possible contradiction might be the concept of a loving and forgiving God desiring vengeance, which could seem inconsistent with New Testament teachings of forgiveness and turning the other cheek.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in this verse might arise from the desire for retribution against enemies, which can conflict with teachings of forgiveness and love for others found in other parts of the Bible, such as in the teachings of Jesus. This could create tension between seeking justice and promoting peace and reconciliation.
