And the heavens shall declare his righteousness
That is, either the heavens shall bear witness to his justice and
equity in judging his people; or the angels, the ministers of the
Gospel, shall declare his justifying righteousness, which is
revealed in it, to the saints and covenant ones they shall be a
means of gathering in: or rather the justice of Christ in the
destruction of the Jews shall be attested and applauded by angels
and men, just as the righteousness of God in the destruction of
the antichristian powers is celebrated by the angel of the
waters, ( Revelation
16:5 Revelation
16:6 ) ;
for God [is] Judge himself.
And not another, or by another; and therefore his judgments must
be just and righteous, seeing he is just and true, loves
righteousness, and is righteous in all his ways and works.
Selah; on this word, (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).
