He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness.

Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.

By the power of your hand, O Lord, destroy those who look to this world for their reward. But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.

Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.

Psalm 24

A psalm of David.

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.

How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.

Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of him.

For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.

Come, see the glorious works of the Lord: See how he brings destruction upon the world.

“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”

The rulers of the world have gathered together with the people of the God of Abraham. For all the kings of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere.

Psalm 49

For the choir director: A psalm of the descendants of Korah.

Listen to this, all you people! Pay attention, everyone in the world!

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for all the world is mine and everything in it.

Destroy them in your anger! Wipe them out completely! Then the whole world will know that God reigns in Israel. Interlude

Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is.

Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises.

Let the whole world sing for joy, because you govern the nations with justice and guide the people of the whole world. Interlude

Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear him.

Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook.

But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core.

The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours—you created it all.

Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God.

Psalm 93

The Lord is king! He is robed in majesty. Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.

O nations of the world, recognize the Lord; recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.

Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!” The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples fairly.
