13  before the Lord, for he comes,

for he comes ^wto judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness,

and the peoples in his faithfulness.

4  but ^pwith righteousness he shall judge the poor,

and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

and he shall ^qstrike the earth with the rod of his mouth,

and ^rwith the breath of his lips ^she shall kill the wicked.
