Psalms 98:9

before the Lord; for He cometh to judge the earth, in His great Messianic visitation; with righteousness shall He judge the world and the people with equity, in the uprightness and soundness of His principles of right. Whosoever accepts His righteousness in faith will be saved; he that believeth not will be damned, on account of his unbelief. Therefore let all believers rally to His banners with their faithful hymns of praise.
