Be far

Righteous are You, O Lord, that I would plead my case with You;

Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You:
Why has the way of the wicked prospered?
Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?

That the

“Lo, God will not reject a man of integrity,
Nor will He support the evildoers.

“It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He destroys the guiltless and the wicked.’

I have seen everything during my

lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.

Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may lengthen his life, still I know that it will be well for those who fear God, who fear Him openly.

Say to the righteous that it will go well with them,
For they will eat the fruit of their actions.

The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart;
And devout men are taken away, while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from evil,

So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

Shall

“The Rock! His work is perfect,

For all His ways are just;

A God of faithfulness and without injustice,

Righteous and upright is He.

“Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?

“Shall one who hates justice rule?
And will you condemn the righteous mighty One,

The Lord

tests the righteous and the wicked,

And the one who loves violence His soul hates.

And men will say, “Surely there is a

reward for the righteous;

Surely there is a God who judges on earth!”

Rise up, O Judge of the earth,

Render recompense to the proud.

Before the Lord, for He is coming to judge the earth;
He will judge the world with righteousness
And the peoples with equity.

May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?

Judge

For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
