Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness
shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
This again is a prophecy concerning the preaching of Christ and the
spread of his kingdom, and it is of the same subject as the two
preceding Psalms; it calls upon us to rejoice in God, to triumph, to
give thanks, and to praise God for that great salvation: that is, to
preach the remission of sins, and those riches of grace which are by
Christ Jesus.
In this Psalm you again have set before you what is the highest
worship of God, namely, that of the New Testament; which standeth not
in the offering of thanks in Jerusalem, but in knowing Christ,—that
King who ruleth the people in righteousness; who is himself righteous,
and who maketh the people righteous throughout the world; and who
alone delivereth them from sin, from death, and from the power of the
devil; and doeth it all without any merit of theirs.
