The King's strength also loveth judgment
Or he who is a strong and mighty King, as Christ is; which
appears by saving his people, and preserving them to his kingdom
and glory, and by destroying all his and their enemies; but,
though he is so potent and victorious a Prince, yet no tyrannical
one, he loves and does what is just and righteous; he loved the
righteous law of God, and obeyed it in the whole course of his
life; he wrought out a perfect righteousness for his people, and
encourages and loves righteousness in them; he will judge the
world in righteousness hereafter; and is now on his throne, and
in his kingdom, ordering it with judgment and justice; all the
administrations of his kingly office are just and true, and
herein he delights:
thou dost establish equity,
or "equities" F1; uprightnesses, righteousnesses; a
perfect and a complete righteousness:
this he has prepared
F2, as the word signifies, by his
obedience, sufferings, and death, and has established as an
everlasting one; moreover, equity, righteousness, and justice,
are the settled rules and laws of his government; see ( Isaiah 9:7 ) ( Isaiah 11:4 Isaiah 11:5 ) ,
thou executest judgment and righteousness in
Jacob;
among the true Israel and people of God, as David his type did, (
2 Samuel
8:15 ) , thereby keeping them in due order, in the observance
of his righteous judgments and statutes, and defending them from
their enemies.
