Psalm 9:8: "And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness."
“And he shall judge the world in righteousness“: This phrase means that God will make decisions about right and wrong for everyone in the world. His judgments will be fair and based on truth.
“he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness“: This tells us that God will serve as a judge to all people with honesty. He will not be biased or unfair.
God's way of judging is perfect. He always knows what is right and does not make mistakes. This verse gives us a picture of God as a fair judge who treats all people the same, with justice and honesty.
The LORD Trieth the Righteous: but the Wicked and Him That Loveth Violence His Soul Hateth
Psalm 11:5: "The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth."
The LORD trieth the righteous”: This part means that God tests the good people. He looks at how strong their goodness is.
“but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth”: This shows that God does not like people who are bad and love to hurt others. He has a strong dislike for violence.
The LORD Is Far from the Wicked: but He Heareth the Prayer of the Righteous
Proverbs 15:29: "The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous."
“The LORD is far from the wicked”: This means God does not support or help those who do bad things.
“but he heareth the prayer of the righteous”: This tells us that God listens to people who live good and moral lives.
In the Bible, God's nature is to be close to those who are good. He's always ready to listen when they ask for help or guidance. This verse tells us that being good matters if we want God to hear us. That is why we need Christ. There is none righteous no not one. There is one Mediator between God and Man. Christ is our righteousness.
The LORD Will Take Vengeance on His Adversaries, and He Reserves Wrath for His Enemies
Nahum 1:2: "God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies."
“God is jealous”: This means God demands loyalty and does not tolerate rivalry or unfaithfulness.
“the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious”: These repeated phrases emphasize God’s role as a judge who responds with righteous anger against those who oppose Him.
“the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries”: God plans to punish those who act against Him.
“and he reserveth wrath for his enemies”: This implies that God has a stored anger ready for those who are His enemies, indicating a future judgment.
The phrases "God is jealous" and "the LORD revengeth, and is furious" highlight the intensity of God's response to opposition. The repetition of "the LORD revengeth" serves to reinforce the certainty of divine retribution. "He reserveth wrath for his enemies" underscores that God’s response to His enemies is deliberate and considered, not impulsive.

“forsaketh not his saints”: God does not abandon His faithful followers. He stays close to those who are devoted to Him.
“they are preserved for ever”: The faithful are protected by God for all time. This preservation is eternal, not temporary.
