God, the Perfect Judge

Commentators agree that this verse establishes God as the ultimate, perfect judge. While David faced unjust condemnation from people, he found comfort in appealing to God, who perfectly discerns between the righteous and the wicked. For believers, this means that even when human judgment fails, God's justice is certain and reliable.
