Psalm 9:9 — he will judge the inhabited world in righteousness; the inhabited world is the church
“And he himself will judge the inhabited world in righteousness; he will judge peoples in uprightness” (Psalm 9:9).
You will understand the inhabited world as the church, inhabited by both Father and Son, according to: “I and my Father will come, and we will make a dwelling with him” (John 14:23). And peoples as the rest besides the church, or those from circumcision. For as many as sinned in the law will be judged through the law, while the lawless who sinned perish lawlessly (Romans 2:12). Therefore those who have blameworthy deeds and an ungodly mind must fear such a judge.

9.9 Καὶ αὐτὸς κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, κρινεῖ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι. Οἰκουμένην μὲν νοήσεις τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, οἰκουμένην ὑπό τε Πατρὸς καὶ Υἱοῦ, κατὰ τό· ̓Εγὼ καὶ ὁ Πατήρ μου ἐλευσόμεθα, καὶ μονὴν παρ' αὐτῷ ποιησόμεθα· λαοὺς δὲ, τοὺς λοιποὺς παρὰ τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, η τοὺς ἐκ πε ριτομῆς. Οσοι γὰρ ἐν νόμῳ η μαρτον, διὰ νόμου κριθήσονται, τῶν ἀνόμων ἁμαρτόν των, ἀνόμως ἀπολλυμένων. Φοβητέον α ρα τὸν τοιοῦτον κριτὴν τοὺς ψεκτάς τε πρά ξεις καὶ ἀσεβὲς ε χοντας φρόνημα.
