'Be Glad, You Nations'



'Be Glad, You Nations'


Be glad, you nations,
with his people.”

For, the Almighty of our Universe!

Since,
"Is he not also the God of people of the nations?

Yes, also of people of the nations."

"Tell the righteous that it will go well for them;
They will be rewarded for what they do."

"Let the sea thunder and all that fills it,
The earth and those dwelling in it.

Let the rivers clap their hands;
Let the mountains shout joyfully together

Before Jehovah, for he is coming
to judge the earth.

He will judge the inhabited earth
with righteousness

And the peoples with fairness."

For He says:

“But my righteous one
will live by reason of faith,”

and “if he shrinks back,
I have no pleasure in him.”

Whereas, John in a vision: "saw underneath the altar
the souls of those slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the witness they had given.

They shouted with a loud voice, saying:

Until when, Sovereign Lord, holy and true,
are you refraining from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”"

Promised:

"In anger and wrath I will execute vengeance
On the nations that have not obeyed.”"

Yes, 
"Be glad, you nations, with his people,

For he will avenge the blood of his servants,
And he will repay vengeance to his adversaries

And will make atonement for the land of his people.”

Says he, The Almighty,

"I will execute on them great acts of vengeance with furious punishments, and they will have to know that I am Jehovah when I bring my vengeance on them.”’”

"The righteous one will rejoice because he has seen the vengeance;

His feet will be drenched with the blood of the wicked.

Then men will say:
“Surely there is a reward for the righteous.

There is indeed a God who judges in the earth.”"

Yes,
"The righteous one will rejoice in Jehovah
and take refuge in him;

All the upright in heart will exult."

"For when there are judgments from you for the earth,
The inhabitants of the land learn about righteousness."

O Jehovah!

"For as the earth brings forth its sprouts
And as the garden makes what is sown in it sprout,
So will the Sovereign Lord Jehovah
Cause righteousness and praise to sprout

before all the nations."

"Because he has set a day on which he purposes to judge
the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed,

and he has provided a guarantee to all men by resurrecting him from the dead.”"

"Let nations rejoice and shout joyfully,
For you will judge the peoples fairly.

You will guide the nations of the earth."

"Declare among the nations:

“Jehovah has become King!

The earth
is firmly established,

it cannot be moved.

He will judge the peoples fairly.”"

"And he will pay back to each one according to his works:

everlasting life to those who are seeking glory and honor and incorruptibleness by endurance in work that is good; 

however, for those who are contentious and who disobey the truth but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and anger."

Yes, "the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah,’
declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah,

‘when I am sanctified among you before their eyes."
