Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Observe, What a goodly sight it was to see the testimony of Israel and the thrones of judgment such near neighbours, and they are good neighbours, which may greatly befriend one another. Let the testimony of Israel direct the thrones of judgment, and the thrones of judgment protect the testimony of Israel.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

there are set thrones--or, "do sit, thrones," used for the occupants, David's sons (2Sa 8:18). Let peace--including prosperity, everywhere prevail. In the welfare of the city, as its civil, and especially the religious relations, was involved that of Israel. now--as in Ps 115:2.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Judgment - The supreme courts of justice for ecclesiastical and civil affairs. Thrones - The royal throne allotted by God to David and to his posterity, and the inferior seats of justice under his authority.
