Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Therefore - Because they are thus worthless. The ungodly - See the notes at Psa 1:1. The wicked in general; the wicked of any kind or degree. Shall not stand - Compare the notes at Psa 1:1. The idea is, that they will not be found among those who are acquitted by the Judge, and approved by him. The idea seems to be derived from the act of standing up to be tried, or to receive a sentence. In the judgment - The Aramaic Paraphrase renders this, “in the great day” - understanding it of the day of judgment.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

They will be for ever shut out from the society of the blessed. They shall not stand in the congregation of the righteous, that is, in the judgment (so some), that court wherein the saints, as assessors with Christ, shall judge the world, those holy myriads with which he shall come to execute judgment upon all, Jude 14;

The Treasury of David, Vol. 1 (1869)

They shall stand there to be judged, but not to be acquitted. Fear shall lay hold upon them there; they shall not stand their ground; they shall flee away; they shall not stand in their own defense; for they shall blush and be covered with eternal contempt. Well may the saints long for heaven, for no evil men shall dwell there, "nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous." All our congregations upon earth are mixed. Every Church hath one devil in it. The tares grow in the same furrows as the wheat.
