God’s kingship is eternal—His throne predates creation and outlasts time. 2. His judgments are perfectly righteous—executed with absolute equity through His Son, the appointed Judge. Psalm 9:7 stands at the center of this testimony, inviting us to trust, worship, and live in light of a King whose reign never ends and whose verdicts are always right. |
