to judge ... will judge
Another possible meaning is "to rule ... will rule."
He will judge the world with righteousness
Here "the world" is a metonym for all the people in the world. See how these words are translated in Psalms 9:8. AT: "He will judge all the people of the world righteously" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
the peoples with his faithfulness
The words "he will judge" are understood. AT: "he will judge the peoples with his faithfulness" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)
with his faithfulness
The can be restated to remove the abstract noun "faithfulness." Possible meanings are 1) AT: "fairly, according to what he knows is true" or 2) AT: "using the same standard for all people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)
