Rabbi Roodyn

י) אִמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם ה’ מָלָךְ אַף תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל תִּמּוֹט יָדִין עַמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִים:

Say among the nations, “Hashem has reigned.” Also the inhabited world will be established so that it will not falter; He will judge peoples with equity.

Rav Hirsch explains this pasuk by as follows:

“Declare it among the nations that face each other armed as separate powers: Peace will not come to mankind until Hashem will have begun His reign on earth, and He, His will and His law will judge human society with meisharim, straightness.”

The basis of the society to be established on Hashem’s will is tzedek, justice which is implemented by mishpat, lawful order, and the application of which in individual cases is called din, judgment.

The implications of this will be discussed tomorrow.
