God's Justice on Earth

Commentators stress that this verse is a powerful declaration that God is not a distant ruler. His justice is actively at work in the world, not just reserved for heaven or the end times. Observing world events provides clear evidence of a moral Governor who rewards righteousness and punishes evil, refuting the idea that life is governed by mere chance or fate.
