Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:13
This verse questions why God tolerates the treacherous, appearing to contradict the just judgment described in Psalms 9:8.
Habakkuk 1:13: [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he? [iniquity: or, grievance]
Paradox #1
Psalms 9:8 talks about God judging the world with righteousness and fairness. A possible contradiction might arise if one questions why a supposedly righteous and fair judgment by God might lead to outcomes that seem unjust or unequal from a human perspective. For example, people might wonder why suffering exists or why good people face hardships if God's judgment is fair. The perceived inconsistency between divine judgment and worldly experiences could be the source of moral conflict for some individuals.
