On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

God's judgment, that is, his government, looks sometimes as if it were at a distance from righteousness, while the wicked prosper, and the best men meet with the worst usage; but it shall return to righteousness again, either in this world or at the furthest in the judgment of the great day, which will set all to-rights.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

In singing this psalm we must look abroad upon the pride of oppressors with a holy indignation, and the tears of the oppressed with a holy compassion; but, at the same time, look upwards to the righteous Judge with an entire satisfaction, and look forward, to the end of all these things, with a pleasing hope.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

But - God will declare himself to be a righteous judge, and will again establish justice in the earth. Follow - They will all approve of it, and imitate this justice of God in all their actions.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
