God's Justice, 3/31/16

Psalm 9:6-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever!

And you have destroyed cities;

Even their memory has perished.

7 But the Lord shall endure forever;

He has prepared His throne for judgment.

8 He shall judge the world in righteousness,

And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;

For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Psalm 10:12-18 New King James Version (NKJV)

12 Arise, O Lord!

O God, lift up Your hand!

Do not forget the humble.

13 Why do the wicked renounce God?

He has said in his heart,

“You will not require an account.”

14 But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief,

To repay it by Your hand.

The helpless commits himself to You;

You are the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;

Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

16 The Lord is King forever and ever;

The nations have perished out of His land.

17 Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;

You will prepare their heart;

You will cause Your ear to hear,

18 To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,

That the man of the earth may oppress no more.

Psalm 12:5 New King James Version (NKJV)

5 “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,

Now I will arise,” says the Lord;

“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Psalm 37:28-34 New King James Version (NKJV)

28 For the Lord loves justice,

And does not forsake His saints;

They are preserved forever,

But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land,

And dwell in it forever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,

And his tongue talks of justice.

31 The law of his God is in his heart;

None of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watches the righteous,

And seeks to slay him.

33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand,

Nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the Lord,

And keep His way,

And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;

When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

7 You, Yourself, are to be feared;

And who may stand in Your presence

When once You are angry?

8 You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared and was still,

9 When God arose to judgment,

To deliver all the oppressed of the earth.

Psalm 82:1-4 New King James Version (NKJV)

1God stands in the congregation of the mighty;

He judges among the gods.

And show partiality to the wicked? Selah

3 Defend the poor and fatherless;

Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4 Deliver the poor and needy;

Free them from the hand of the wicked.

14 For the Lord will not cast off His people,

Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

And all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?

Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

Psalm 97:2 New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Clouds and darkness surround Him;

The cause of the afflicted,

And justice for the poor.

Isaiah 9:7 New King James Version (NKJV)

7 Of the increase of His government and peace

There will be no end,

Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,

To order it and establish it with judgment and justice

From that time forward, even forever.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah 10:1-4 New King James Version (NKJV)

10 “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees,

Who write misfortune,

Which they have prescribed

2 To rob the needy of justice,

And to take what is right from the poor of My people,

That widows may be their prey,

And that they may rob the fatherless.

3 What will you do in the day of punishment,

And in the desolation which will come from afar?

To whom will you flee for help?

And where will you leave your glory?

4 Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners,

And they shall fall among the slain.”

For all this His anger is not turned away,

But His hand is stretched out still.
