You are the judge of us all; rise and give the proud what they deserve!

How much longer will the wicked be glad? How much longer, LORD?

You are the judge of all people. Judge in my favor, O LORD; you know that I am innocent.

You are a righteous God and judge our thoughts and desires. Stop the wickedness of evildoers and reward those who are good.

The LORD has revealed himself by his righteous judgments, and the wicked are trapped by their own deeds.

People will say, "The righteous are indeed rewarded; there is indeed a God who judges the world."

The wicked will not always rule over the land of the righteous; if they did, the righteous themselves might do evil.

The LORD will take revenge and punish them; the time will come when they will fall; the day of their doom is near.

The LORD will rescue his people when he sees that their strength is gone. He will have mercy on those who serve him, when he sees how helpless they are.

Job, you say you can't see God; but wait patiently---your case is before him.

We have sinned against the LORD, so now we must endure his anger for a while. But in the end he will defend us and right the wrongs that have been done to us. He will bring us out to the light; we will live to see him save us.

Once again my people will see the difference between what happens to the righteous and to the wicked, to the person who serves me and the one who does not."

But do not forget one thing, my dear friends! There is no difference in the Lord's sight between one day and a thousand years; to him the two are the same.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that Day the heavens will disappear with a shrill noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth with everything in it will vanish.

and singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Lord God Almighty, how great and wonderful are your deeds! King of the nations, how right and true are your ways!

Who will not stand in awe of you, Lord? Who will refuse to declare your greatness? You alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship you, because your just actions are seen by all."

Give yourself to the LORD; trust in him, and he will help you;

Be patient and wait for the LORD to act; don't be worried about those who prosper or those who succeed in their evil plans.

LORD, do good to those who are good, to those who obey your commands.

But when you punish the wicked, punish also those who abandon your ways. Peace be with Israel!

Those who claim to be respectable are more and more convinced they are right.

I follow faithfully the road he chooses, and never wander to either side.

I always do what God commands; I follow his will, not my own desires.

Be patient, then, my friends, until the Lord comes. See how patient farmers are as they wait for their land to produce precious crops. They wait patiently for the autumn and spring rains.

Do not complain against one another, my friends, so that God will not judge you. The Judge is near, ready to appear.

We call them happy because they endured. You have heard of Job's patience, and you know how the Lord provided for him in the end. For the Lord is full of mercy and compassion.

These people really did not belong to our fellowship, and that is why they left us; if they had belonged to our fellowship, they would have stayed with us. But they left so that it might be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
