God's Justice Will Be Vindicated

Commentators explain that this verse is a promise for times when injustice seems to win. While God's rule may currently appear disconnected from His righteousness, He will act to restore order. His "judgment" (His governance of the world) will ultimately and visibly "return to righteousness," proving His ways are just and true, even when it's hard to see.
