When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous and terror to evildoers—an affirmation that the righteous rejoice when justice prevails (vindicating their faith in moral order) while the wicked face fear as their schemes are thwarted. The parallelism reveals that justice's effects depend on whether one is aligned with it or against it. The theological significance involves the principle that God's justice is not neutral but favors the righteous.
