Psalm 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 9:8

And he shall judge the world in righteousness
The word (lbt) , rendered "world", is, as Ben Melech well observes, a general name for all the countries of the habitable world; and so shows that it is the universal judgment that is here spoken of; and which will be carried on and finished with the utmost righteousness, and according to the strictest rules of justice and equity; and is therefore called the righteous judgment of God, ( Romans 2:5 ) ; see ( Psalms 96:13 ) ( 98:9 ) ( Acts 17:31 ) ;

he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness;
which signifies the same with the former clause, unless by the "world" there, should be meant the wicked of the world; and by the "people" here, the people of God; to whom the righteous Judge will give the crown of righteousness.

6 Gij hebt de heidenen gescholden, den goddeloze verdaan, hun naam uitgedelgd, tot in eeuwigheid en altoos.
7 O vijand! zijn de verwoestingen voleind in eeuwigheid, en hebt gij de steden uitgeroeid? Hunlieder gedachtenis is met hen vergaan.
8 Maar de HEERE zal in eeuwigheid zitten; Hij heeft Zijn troon bereid ten gerichte.
9 En Hij Zelf zal de wereld richten in gerechtigheid, en de volken oordelen in rechtmatigheden.
