Salmos 9:4

4 Sustentaste o meu direito e a minha causa; tu te assentaste no tribunal, julgando justamente.

Salmos 9:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 9:4

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause
Or vindicated and established his righteous cause; God had pleaded and defended it, and by the flight, fall, and ruin of his enemies, had clearly made it appear that his cause was just and good;

thou sittest in the throne judging right;
God has not only a throne of grace on which he sits, and from whence he distributes grace and mercy to his people, but he has a throne of judgment, and which is prepared for it, as in ( Psalms 9:7 ) ; where he sits as the Judge of all the earth, and will do right; nor can he do otherwise, though his judgments are not always manifest in the present state of things; and the vindication of the psalmist's innocence and uprightness is another reason of his joy and gladness.

Salmos 9:4 In-Context

2 Em ti me alegrarei e exultarei; cantarei louvores ao teu nome, ó Altíssimo;

3 porquanto os meus inimigos retrocedem, caem e perecem diante de ti.

4 Sustentaste o meu direito e a minha causa; tu te assentaste no tribunal, julgando justamente.

5 Repreendeste as nações, destruíste os ímpios; apagaste o seu nome para sempre e eternamente.

6 Os inimigos consumidos estão; perpétuas são as suas ruínas.
