Therefore will he lift up his head.

Yahweh Will Judge His People

Psalm 135 reads,

135:1Praise Yah!
Praise the name of Yahweh!
Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

135:2You who stand in the house of Yahweh,
In the courts of our God’s house.

135:3Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good.
Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

135:4For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself;
Israel for his own possession.

135:5For I know that Yahweh is great,
That our Lord is above all gods.

135:6Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done,
In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

135:7Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth;
Who makes lightnings with the rain;
Who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;

135:8Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,
Both of man and animal;

135:9Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt,
On Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

135:10Who struck many nations,
And killed mighty kings,

135:11Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
All the kingdoms of Canaan,

135:12And gave their land for a heritage,
A heritage to Israel, his people.

135:13Your name, Yahweh, endures forever;
Your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.

135:14For Yahweh will judge his people,
And have compassion on his servants.

135:15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.

135:16They have mouths, but they can’t speak;
They have eyes, but they can’t see;

135:17They have ears, but they can’t hear;
Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

135:18Those who make them will be like them;
Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

135:19House of Israel, praise Yahweh!
House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

135:20House of Levi, praise Yahweh!
You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!

135:21Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
Who dwells at Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!

No Living Man Is Righteous In Yahweh's Sight

Psalm 143:1-6 reads,

143:1Hear my prayer, Yahweh.
Listen to my petitions.
In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

143:2Don’t enter into judgment with your servant,
For in your sight no man living is righteous.

143:3For the enemy pursues my soul.
He has struck my life down to the ground.
He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

143:4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me.
My heart within me is desolate.

143:5I remember the days of old.
I meditate on all your doings.
I contemplate the work of your hands.

143:6I spread forth my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land.

The Honour Of Yahweh's Saints

Psalm 149 reads,

149:1Praise Yahweh!
Sing to Yahweh a new song,
His praise in the assembly of the saints.

149:2Let Israel rejoice in him who made them.
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

149:3Let them praise his name in the dance!
Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

149:4For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people.
He crowns the humble with salvation.

149:5Let the saints rejoice in honor.
Let them sing for joy on their beds.

149:6May the high praises of God be in their mouths,
And a two-edged sword in their hand;

149:7To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;

149:8To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;

149:9To execute on them the written judgment.
All his saints have this honor.

Praise Yah!

The honour of the saints, to execute vengeance on the nations according to the written judgement. In other words, it is not just the angels who will do such works, but also the saints that Yahweh will have honoured.

Judgement By Rulers

Proverbs 16:10 reads,

16:10Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king.
He shall not betray his mouth.

Proverbs 20:8 reads,

20:8A king who sits on the throne of judgment
Scatters away all evil with his eyes.

Proverbs 24:23-25 reads,

24:23These also are sayings of the wise.

To show partiality in judgment is not good.

24:24He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;"
Peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him —

24:25But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
And a rich blessing will come on them.

Proverbs 28:16 reads,

28:16The ruler who lacks judgment is a great tyrant.
One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.

Proverbs 29:14 reads,

29:14The king who fairly judges the poor,
His throne shall be established forever.

Proverbs 31:8-9 reads,

31:8Open your mouth for the mute,
In the cause of all who are left desolate.

31:9Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And serve justice to the poor and needy."

Wickedness Found In The Place Of Justice?

Ecclesiastes 3:16-17 reads,

3:16Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there. 3:17I said in my heart, "God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."

Yahweh Brings Into Judgement All Works

Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:8 reads,

11:9Rejoice, young man, in your youth,
And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth,
And walk in the ways of your heart,
And in the sight of your eyes;
But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

11:10Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
And put away evil from your flesh;
For youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

12:1Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the evil days come, and the years draw near,
When you will say, "I have no pleasure in them;"

12:2Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened,
And the clouds return after the rain;

12:3In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble,
And the strong men shall bow themselves,
And the grinders cease because they are few,
And those who look out of the windows are darkened,

12:4And the doors shall be shut in the street;
When the sound of the grinding is low,
And one shall rise up at the voice of a bird,
And all the daughters of music shall be brought low;

12:5Yes, they shall be afraid of heights,
And terrors will be in the way;
And the almond tree shall blossom,
And the grasshopper shall be a burden,
And desire shall fail;
Because man goes to his everlasting home,
And the mourners go about the streets:

12:6Before the silver cord is severed,
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher is broken at the spring,
Or the wheel broken at the cistern,

12:7And the dust returns to the earth as it was,
And the spirit returns to God who gave it.
12:8Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher;
All is vanity!

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 reads,

12:13This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. 12:14For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
