{Came oft} ((8872)cheto). Imperfect tense denotes repetitions,
no adverb for "oft" in the Greek. {Avenge me of} (ekdik(8873)on me
apo). A late verb for doing justice, protecting one from another
(note both ek and apo, here). Deissmann (_Light from the
Ancient East_, pp. 420ff.) quotes a st(886c)(885c) of the second century
B.C. with a prayer for vengeance for a Jewish girl that had been
murdered which has this very verb ekdike(935c).
