Because You Have:

Maintained Justice v. 4a, 7a

“you have maintained my just cause” v. 4a

The concept of this phrase means that God as judge has ruled favorably for David.

“He has established His throne for justice.”

Common Misconception: I don’t see God’s justice. How can we claim that God is just when there is so much evil in the world?

When we say that God is just, we mean that He is perfectly righteous in His treatment of His creatures.

God shows no partiality (Acts 10:34),

He commands against the mistreatment of others (Zechariah 7:10)

He perfectly executes vengeance against the oppressors (2 Thessalonians 1:6; Romans 12:19).

God is just in meting out rewards: “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them” (Hebrews 6:10).

He is equally just in meting out punishments: “Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism” (Colossians 3:25).

Justice and righteousness, which always work hand in hand, are the foundation of God’s throne (Psalm 89:14).

From where does our sense of justice and morality come? If we evolved from some primordial soup on what grounds can we claim that morality and justice are even real? Justice is real because it is first and foremost an attribute of God.

The truth is that all of the evil we see in the world is the consequence of sin, and the fact that God allows us to endure the consequence of sin both ours and those around us is in fact a just thing for Him to do.

Another truth regarding God’s justice is that just because He doesn’t distribute justice on our timetable doesn’t mean that He is unjust.

Waiting for God’s justice is right and should be our consistent prayer. That is what Psalm 10 is all about. Read some excerpts

Our joy is that God’s justice has been satisfied on the cross. Those who question God’s justice only question it for others. We want God to enact His justice on others but not ourselves. We should rejoice that God’s justice has been satisfied for those who know Christ.

Ruled Righteously v. 4b, 7b

“you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgement.”

God is consistently righteous. No matter the circumstance we can fully rely on God to respond righteously.

We don’t have to tip toe around God because we don’t know from day to day what will set Him off.

He is perfectly consistent and that is seen in His righteous rule. v. 7b

“He judges the people with uprightness” v. 8b

Rebuked the Nations v. 5a

God’s rebuke of the nations is actually an act of mercy. It is merciful to rebuke before destruction.

Perhaps one of the greatest displays of God’s mercy is that He allows us to endure at all. Sure we have to deal with the consequences of our actions in the mean time but what the world actually deserves is destruction.

Judged the Wicked v. 5b-8, 17, 19-20

“you have blotted our their name forever”

In these verses of judgment there is both a sense of God’s past judgment and that which is yet to come.

According to these verses and chapter 10 what is the ultimate end of the wicked?
