Psaume 9:8

Psaume 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 9:8

And he shall judge the world in righteousness
The word (lbt) , rendered "world", is, as Ben Melech well observes, a general name for all the countries of the habitable world; and so shows that it is the universal judgment that is here spoken of; and which will be carried on and finished with the utmost righteousness, and according to the strictest rules of justice and equity; and is therefore called the righteous judgment of God, ( Romans 2:5 ) ; see ( Psalms 96:13 ) ( 98:9 ) ( Acts 17:31 ) ;

he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness;
which signifies the same with the former clause, unless by the "world" there, should be meant the wicked of the world; and by the "people" here, the people of God; to whom the righteous Judge will give the crown of righteousness.

6 Plus d'ennemis! Des ruines éternelles! Des villes que tu as renversées! Leur souvenir est anéanti.

7 L'Eternel règne à jamais, Il a dressé son trône pour le jugement;

8 Il juge le monde avec justice, Il juge les peuples avec droiture.

9 L'Eternel est un refuge pour l'opprimé, Un refuge au temps de la détresse.
