For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.
then hear in heaven their prayer and their plea and maintain their cause.
I know that the Lord maintains the cause of the needy and executes justice for the poor.
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
God is king over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
before the Lord, for he is coming, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his truth.
at the presence of the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity.
but with righteousness he shall judge for the poor and decide with equity for the oppressed of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly.
