9 Let them sing before Yahweh, For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.
Say among the nations, "Yahweh reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
Before Yahweh; for he comes, For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, The peoples with his truth.
He will judge your people with righteousness, And your poor with justice.
But Yahweh of Hosts is exalted in justice, And God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, "Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you."

PSALM 98
Ps 98:1-9. In view of the wonders of grace and righteousness displayed in God's salvation, the whole creation is invited to unite in praise.
1. gotten … victory—literally, "made salvation," enabled Him to save His people.
right hand, and … arm—denote power.
holy arm—or, "arm of holiness," the power of His united moral perfections (Ps 22:3; 32:11).
2. salvation—the result of His righteousness (Ps 7:17; 31:1), and both are publicly displayed.
3. The union of mercy and truth (Ps 57:3; 85:10) secure the blessings of the promise (Ge 12:3; 18:18) to all the world (Isa 52:10).
4-6. make a loud noise—or, "burst forth" (Isa 14:7; 44:23).
before … King—hail Him as your sovereign; and while, with every aid to demonstrate zeal and joy, intelligent creatures are invited to praise, as in Ps 96:11-13, inanimate nature is also summoned to honor Him who triumphs and rules in righteousness and equity.
