Psalms 98:9
FOOTNOTES:
F6 (Myrvmb) "in rectitudinibus", Montanus, Michaelis.
Before the Lord, for he cometh to judge the
earth
(See Gill on Psalms
96:13),
with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people
with
equity;
both at his first and second coming, and during the intermediate
time; see the note as before. The only difference is, that in (
Psalms
96:13 ) , it is said that he shall judge the people "with his
truth", here "with equity", or "uprightnesses" F6; in the
most upright manner, according to the strictest rules of justice
and judgment; see ( Isaiah
11:3-5 ) .
