Now then, you kings, use insight; Let yourselves be instructed, you judges of the earth.

The Lord judges the peoples; Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.

God is a righteous judge, And a God who shows indignation every day.

And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples fairly.

Arise, Lord, do not let mankind prevail; Let the nations be judged before You.

Judge me, Lord my God, according to Your righteousness, And do not let them rejoice over me.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand Or let him be condemned when he is judged.

God, the Judge of the Righteous and the Wicked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken And summoned the earth, from the rising of the sun to its setting.

He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people:

And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah

Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge.

Prayer for the Punishment of the Wicked.

For the music director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David.

Do you indeed speak righteousness, you gods? Do you judge fairly, you sons of mankind?

And people will say, “There certainly is a reward for the righteous; There certainly is a God who judges on the earth!”

May the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with fairness And guide the nations on the earth. Selah

A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy dwelling.

May he judge Your people with righteousness And Your afflicted with justice.

“When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge fairly.

But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

Unjust Judgments Rebuked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

God takes His position in His assembly; He judges in the midst of the gods.

How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah

Arise, God, judge the earth! For You possess all the nations.

Rise up, Judge of the earth, Pay back retribution to the proud.

A Call to Worship the Lord the Righteous Judge.

Sing to the Lord a new song; Sing to the Lord, all the earth.

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will judge the peoples fairly.”

Before the Lord, for He is coming, For He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness.
