Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay...
Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
