Exegesis
The conjunction ki-ba {כִּי־בָ֖א | kī-bāʾ} ‘for He has come’ plus the infinitive lishpot {לִשְׁפּ֥וֹט | lišpôṭ} ‘to judge’ links divine arrival with the act of judging, and the marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet-} identifies ha’aretz {הָאָֽרֶץ | hāʾāreṣ} ‘the earth’ as the domain of His verdict.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:33
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD , for He comes to judge the earth .
