Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?”

“Those who contend with the Lord will be shattered; Against them He will thunder in the heavens, The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; And He will give strength to His king, And will exalt the horn of His anointed.”

Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord; For He is coming to judge the earth.

“The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth.

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 men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges on earth!”

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who possesses all the nations.

Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense 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.

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.

Before the Lord, for He is coming to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness And the peoples with equity.

Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;

But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.

He it is who reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.

If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;

And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

because His judgments are true and righteous; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His bond-servants on her.”
