The affirmation that the righteous will rejoice when they see the vindication and wash their feet in the blood of the wicked establishes the liturgical response to divine judgment: the righteous will celebrate and participate in the visible vindication of justice. The imagery of washing feet in blood suggests intense participation in the defeat of enemies; the victory is so complete and so visible that it can be literally waded through. The reference to rejoicing establishes that the vindication of justice produces joy and celebration in those who have suffered. This verse articulates the communal worship response to the execution of divine judgment.
