God, the ultimate judge

1 {To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.} Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Commentary

This psalm reminds us of the importance of recognizing God's authority as the judge of the earth. The wicked may seem to prosper and the righteous may suffer, but God will ultimately bring justice to all. As believers, we can take comfort in the knowledge that God is in control and will ultimately set all things right. We are called to trust in his sovereignty and to leave the final judgment to him. This psalm also challenges us to examine ourselves and repent of any wrongdoing, knowing that God's judgment is just and that he offers forgiveness to those who turn to him.
