Psalms 9:8

9:8 He judges the world fairly;

he makes just legal decisions for the nations. ¹ 

Psalms 72:2

72:2 Then he will judge ²  your people fairly,

and your oppressed ones ³  equitably.

Psalms 119:137

צ (Tsade)

119:137 You are just, O Lord,

and your judgments are fair.

[9:8]  ¹ tn Heb “the peoples.” The imperfect verbal forms in v. 8 either describe God’s typical, characteristic behavior, or anticipate a future judgment of worldwide proportions (“will judge…”).

[72:2]  ² tn The prefixed verbal form appears to be an imperfect, not a jussive.

[72:2]  ³ sn These people are called God’s oppressed ones because he is their defender (see Pss 9:12, 18; 10:12; 12:5).
