Psalms 9:4

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

“Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.

Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let’s exalt his name together.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let Yahweh be exalted!”

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

Yahweh is my portion. I promised to obey your words.

I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”

Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

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

for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. A bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.

He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

“Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

Yahweh, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.

Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.

For Yahweh’s portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

Behold, the Cushite came. The Cushite said, “News for my lord the king, for Yahweh has avenged you today of all those who rose up against you.”

then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you will judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations on earth.

He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.

‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’ ”

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Armies is his name.

Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.

He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

Then I answered them, and said to them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.”

He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!

Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May Yahweh be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”

But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”

The King’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity.

It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.

Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Let me now run and carry the king news, how Yahweh has avenged him of his enemies.”

then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

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

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

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

before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

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

Don’t snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, for I put my hope in your ordinances.

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

Yahweh, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
