God's judgments, as illustrated in Psalms, are based on His perfect justice, holiness, and the moral order He established.
God's judgment is rooted in His nature, which is fundamentally just and holy. The psalmist acknowledges in Psalm 79 that the suffering endured by the people is a result of their iniquities, indicating an understanding of their need for repentance. This reflects the principle found in Scripture that God's disciplines are not arbitrary but are responses to human sin. Moreover, the psalmist's plea for God's wrath to be directed towards the heathen reinforces the notion that God's justice will ultimately prevail. As believers, we trust that God's ways are higher than ours and that His judgments, even when they involve suffering, are ultimately for our good and His glory.
