Yahweh Judges Those Who Walk In Integrity

Yahweh Judges Those Who Walk In Integrity

Psalm 26 reads,

^{26:1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity.

I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.
^{26:2Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me.

Try my heart and my mind.
^{26:3For your lovingkindness is before my eyes.

I have walked in your truth.
^{26:4I have not sat with deceitful men,

Neither will I go in with hypocrites.
^{26:5I hate the assembly of evil-doers,

And will not sit with the wicked.
^{26:6I will wash my hands in innocence,

So I will go about your altar, Yahweh;

^26:7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,

And tell of all your wondrous works.
^{26:8Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house,

The place where your glory dwells.
^{26:9Don’t gather my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

^26:10In whose hands is wickedness,

Their right hand is full of bribes.
^{26:11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.

Redeem me, and be merciful to me.}}}}}}}}}

26:12My foot stands in an even place.
In the congregations will I bless Yahweh.

Yahweh's Judgements Are A Great Deep

Psalm 36 reads,

For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh.
^{36:1An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked:

"There is no fear of God before his eyes."
^{36:2For he flatters himself in his own eyes,

Too much to detect and hate his sin.
^{36:3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit.

He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
^{36:4He plots iniquity on his bed.

He sets himself in a way that is not good;

He doesn’t abhor evil.}}}}^{36:5Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
^{36:6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.

Your judgments are a great deep.
Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.
^{36:7How precious is your lovingkindness, God!

The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
^{36:8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house.

You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
^{36:9For with you is the spring of life.

In your light shall we see light.
^{36:10Oh continue your lovingkindness to those who know you,

Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
^{36:11Don’t let the foot of pride come against me.

Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.}36:12There the workers of iniquity are fallen.

They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.}}}}}}

It seems that once the workers of iniquity are fallen, after they have been returned to Sheol, they shall not be able to rise. In other words, those who go to Sheol a second time will never depart from it. They will never live again, but will remain dead!

The Wicked Shall Perish

Psalm 37 reads,

^{37:1Don’t fret because of evil-doers,

Neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
^{37:2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,

And wither like the green herb.}}^{37:3Trust in Yahweh, and do good.

Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
^{37:4Also delight yourself in Yahweh,

And he will give you the desires of your heart.
^{37:5Commit your way to Yahweh.

Trust also in him, and he will do this:
^{37:6He will make your righteousness go forth as the light,

And your justice as the noon day sun.
^{37:7Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.

Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,

Because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

^{37:8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.

Don’t fret, it leads only to evildoing.
^{37:9For evildoers shall be cut off,

But those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.
^{37:10For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.

Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
^{37:11But the humble shall inherit the land,

And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
^{37:12The wicked plots against the just,

And gnashes at him with his teeth.
^{37:13The Lord will laugh at him,

For he sees that his day is coming.
^{37:14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,

To cast down the poor and needy,

To kill those who are upright in the way.
^{37:15Their sword shall enter into their own heart.

Their bows shall be broken.
^{37:16Better is a little that the righteous has,

Than the abundance of many wicked.
^{37:17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,

But Yahweh upholds the righteous.
^{37:18Yahweh knows the days of the perfect.

Their inheritance shall be forever.
^{37:19They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil.

In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
^{37:20But the wicked shall perish.

The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields.

They will vanish —

Vanish like smoke.
^{37:21The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,

But the righteous give generously.
^{37:22For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.

Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}^{37:23A man’s goings are established by Yahweh.

He delights in his way.
^{37:24Though he stumble, he shall not fall,

For Yahweh holds him up with his hand.
^{37:25I have been young, and now am old,

Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

Nor his children begging for bread.
^{37:26All day long he deals graciously, and lends.

His seed is blessed.
^{37:27Depart from evil, and do good;

Live securely forever.
^{37:28For Yahweh loves justice,

And doesn’t forsake his saints.

They are preserved forever,

But the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
^{37:29The righteous shall inherit the land,

And live in it forever.}}}^{37:30The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.

His tongue speaks justice.
^{37:31The law of his God is in his heart.

None of his steps shall slide.
^{37:32The wicked watches the righteous,

And seeks to kill him.
^{37:33Yahweh will not leave him in his hand,

Nor condemn him when he is judged.
^{37:34Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way,

And he will exalt you to inherit the land.

When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
^{37:35I have seen the wicked in great power,

Spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
^{37:36But he passed away, and, behold, he was not.

Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
^{37:37Mark the perfect man, and see the upright,

For there is a future for the man of peace.
^{37:38As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together.

The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
^{37:39But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh.

He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.}}}}}}}}37:40Yahweh helps them, and rescues them.

He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them,

Because they have taken refuge in him.}}}}}}}}}}} Offer To Yahweh The Sacrifice Of Thanksgiving

Psalm 50 reads,

A Psalm by Asaph.
^{50:1The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks,

And calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
^{50:2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

God shines forth.
^{50:3Our God comes, and does not keep silent.

A fire devours before him.

It is very tempestuous around him.
^{50:4He calls to the heavens above,

To the earth, that he may judge his people:
^{50:5"Gather my saints together to me,

Those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
^{50:6The heavens shall declare his righteousness,

For God himself is judge.}}}}Selah.
^{50:7"Hear, my people, and I will speak;

Israel, and I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
^{50:8I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices.

Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
^{50:9I have no need for a bull from your stall,

Nor male goats from your pens.
^{50:10For every animal of the forest is mine,

And the cattle on a thousand hills.
^{50:11I know all the birds of the mountains.

The wild animals of the field are mine.
^{50:12If I were hungry, I would not tell you,

For the world is mine, and all that is in it.
^{50:13Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

Or drink the blood of goats?
^{50:14Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.

Pay your vows to the Most High.
^{50:15Call on me in the day of trouble.

I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
^{50:16But to the wicked God says,

"What right do you have to declare my statutes,

That you have taken my covenant on your lips,

^50:17Seeing you hate instruction,

And throw my words behind you?}}}^{50:18When you saw a thief, you consented with him,

And have participated with adulterers.
^{50:19"You give your mouth to evil.

You harnesses your tongue for deceit.
^{50:20You sit and speak against your brother.

You slander your own mother’s son.
^{50:21You have done these things, and I kept silent.

You thought that the "I AM" was just like you.

I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

^{50:22"Now consider this, you who forget God,

Lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.}50:23Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me,

And prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him."}}}}}}}}}}}}} There Is A Reward For The Righteous

Psalm 58 reads,

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David.
^{58:1Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones?

Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
^{58:2No, in your heart you plot injustice.

You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
^{58:3The wicked go astray from the womb.

They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
^{58:4Their poison is like the poison of a snake;

Like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

^58:5Which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers,

No matter how skillful the charmer may be.
^{58:6Break their teeth, God, in their mouth.

Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
^{58:7Let them vanish as water that flows away.

When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
^{58:8Let them be as a snail which melts and passes away,

Like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
^{58:9Before your pots can feel the thorns,

He will sweep away, the green and the burning alike.
^{58:10The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance.

He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

^58:11So that men shall say, "Most assuredly there is a reward for the righteous.}}}}}Most assuredly there is a God who judges the earth."}}}} Yahweh Judges The Peoples With Equity

Psalm 67 reads,

For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.
^{67:1May God be merciful to us, bless us,

And cause his face to shine on us.
Selah.
^{67:2That your way may be known on earth,

And your salvation among all nations,

^67:3Let the peoples praise you, God.

Let all the peoples praise you.
^{67:4Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

For you will judge the peoples with equity,

And govern the nations on earth.}Selah.
^{67:5Let the peoples praise you, God.

Let all the peoples praise you.
^{67:6The earth has yielded its increase.

God, even our own God, will bless us.
^{67:7God will bless us.

All the ends of the earth shall fear him.}}}}} The Rule Of Yahweh's Anointed

Psalm 72:1-19 reads,

By Solomon.
^{72:1God, give the king your justice;

Your righteousness to the royal son.
^{72:2He will judge your people with righteousness,

And your poor with justice.
^{72:3The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people;

The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
^{72:4He will judge the poor of the people.

He will save the children of the needy,

And will break the oppressor in pieces.
^{72:5They shall fear you while the sun endures;

And as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
^{72:6He will come down like rain on the mown grass,

As showers that water the earth.
^{72:7In his days, the righteous shall flourish,

And abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
^{72:8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,

From the River to the ends of the earth.
^{72:9Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him.

His enemies shall lick the dust.
^{72:10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute.

The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
^{72:11Yes, all kings shall fall down before him.

All nations shall serve him.
^{72:12For he will deliver the needy when he cries;

The poor, who has no helper.
^{72:13He will have pity on the poor and needy.

He will save the souls of the needy.
^{72:14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence.

Their blood will be precious in his sight.
^{72:15They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba.

Men shall pray for him continually.

They shall bless him all day long.
^{72:16There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land.

Its fruit sways like Lebanon.

Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
^{72:17His name endures forever.

His name continues as long as the sun.
Men shall be blessed by him.

All nations will call him blessed.
^{72:18Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel,

Who alone does marvelous deeds.
^{72:19Blessed be his glorious name forever!

Let the whole earth be filled with his glory!}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Yahweh Will Judge Blamelessly

Psalm 75 reads,

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm by Asaph. A song.
^{75:1We give thanks to you, God,

We give thanks, for your Name is near.

Men tell about your wondrous works.
^{75:2When I choose the appointed time,

I will judge blamelessly.
^{75:3The earth and all its inhabitants quake.

I firmly hold its pillars.}}Selah.
^{75:4I said to the arrogant, "Don’t boast;"

To the wicked, "Don’t lift up the horn.
^{75:5Don’t lift up your horn on high.

Don’t speak with a stiff neck."
^{75:6For neither from the east, nor from the west,

Nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
^{75:7But God is the judge.

He puts down one, and lifts up another.
^{75:8For in the hand of Yahweh there is a cup,

Full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
He pours it out.

Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.}}^{75:9But I will declare this forever:

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
^{75:10I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,

But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.}}}}}}
