You who still the noise of the seas,

The noise of their waves,

And the tumult of the peoples.

Psalm 65:5-7

Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

Sing out the honor of His name;

They shall sing praises to Your name."

For You shall judge the people righteously,

And govern the nations on earth.

With their mouths they speak proudly.

They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,

As a lion is eager to tear his prey, And like a young lion lurking in secret places.

Psalm 17:10-12

Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered;

Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.

As smoke is driven away, So drive them away;

As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God;

Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.

Sing to God, sing praises to His name;

Extol Him who rides on the clouds,

By His name YAH,

And rejoice before Him.

How long will the wicked triumph?

They utter speech, and speak insolent things;

All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.

Psalm 94:1-4

Understand, you senseless among the people;

And you fools, when will you be wise?

He who formed the eye, shall He not see?

He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct,

He who teaches man knowledge?

Psalm 72:18-19

Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stands in the path of sinners,

Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1:1-6

Have you not known? Have you not heard?

Has it not been told you from the beginning?

Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,

And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,

Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,

And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

He brings the princes to nothing;

He makes the judges of the earth useless.

Scarcely shall they be planted, Scarcely shall they be sown,

Scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth,

When He will also blow on them, And they will wither,

And the whirlwind will take them away like stubble.

Isaiah 40:21-24  

Why do the nations rage,

And the people plot a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together,

Against the LORD and against His Anointed,

saying, "Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us."

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;

The Lord shall hold them in derision.

Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,

And distress them in His deep displeasure:

"Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion."

"I will declare the decree:

The LORD has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.

Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance,

And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

You shall break them with a rod of iron;

You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'

" Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear,

And rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,

And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little.

Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

Psalm 2:1-12

'This decision is by the decree of the watchers,

And the sentence by the word of the holy ones,

In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,

Gives it to whomever He will,

And sets over it the lowest of men.'

Daniel 4:17

"I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge and discretion.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;

Pride and arrogance and the evil way

And the perverse mouth I hate.

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding,

I have strength.

By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.

By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the earth.

I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.

Riches and honor are with me,

Enduring riches and righteousness.

Proverbs 8:12-18

The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me:

'He who rules over men must be just,

Ruling in the fear of God.

And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises,

A morning without clouds,

Like the tender grass springing out of the earth,

By clear shining after rain.'

2 Samuel 23:3-4  

And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven,

and my understanding returned to me;

and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever:

For His dominion is an everlasting dominion,

And His kingdom is from generation to generation.

All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing;

He does according to His will in the army of heaven

And among the inhabitants of the earth.

No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?"

At the same time my reason returned to me,

and for the glory of my kingdom,

my honor and splendor returned to me.

My counselors and nobles resorted to me,

I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven,

all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice.

And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.

Then the seventh angel sounded:

And there were loud voices in heaven, saying,

"The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ,

and He shall reign forever and ever!"

And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: "We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,

The One who is and who was and who is to come,

Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,

And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,

And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,

And those who fear Your name, small and great,

And should destroy those who destroy the earth."

Revelation 11:15-18
