⁴ For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.

¹² I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.

²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

⁵ The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.

⁶ Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.

⁷ You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

⁸ God is the ruler over the nations; God is on the high seat of his holy rule.

¹⁴ The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.

¹³ Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.

⁹ Before the Lord, for he has come as judge of the earth; judging the world in righteousness, and giving true decisions for the peoples.

⁴ But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.
