Psalm 72:1-20

A characteristic of the righteous king: Psa 72:2 He will judge your [God's] people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-22

Based on the nature and character of God, we can say with confidence that God will someday judge the world. The "time" (v. 1) will come. (For justice to not occur, God would have to deny his own nature and character, something he cannot do!)

Based on the nature of his sovereignty (purposeful and with design, v. 11), we can say with confidence that the time will come in which all things will "fit together" appropriately. (Among other things, this includes the fact that righteousness will be rewarded and wickedness will be punished. But we could expand it to include concepts such as the observation mentioned in Romans 8:28, that God will use all things to accomplish good in the lives of those who love him.)
