⁴ For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

¹² I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

²³ Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

⁵ Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

⁶ Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.

⁷ You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

⁸ God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

¹⁴ Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

¹³ Before Yahweh; for he comes, For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, The peoples with his truth.

⁹ Let them sing before Yahweh, For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.

⁴ but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he kill the wicked.
