when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

Rescue the Weak and Needy

A Psalm of Asaph.

God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, O Lord.

Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,

He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.

My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I am afraid of your judgments.

There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.

Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.

to execute on them the judgment written! This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the Lord!

An oracle is on the lips of a king; his mouth does not sin in judgment.

Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.

A king who sits on the throne of judgment winnows all evil with his eyes.

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem

The Judgment of Babylon

The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.

Judgment on the Whole Earth

Behold, the Lord will empty the earth and make it desolate, and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.

In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul.

My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
