“Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.”
A final petition is directed to God: "Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you." The psalmist calls God to assume direct judicial authority over all nations, taking over the role these failed judges have abdicated. The assertion that all nations belong to God establishes the basis for divine jurisdiction and the obligation to establish justice.
