Psalms 9:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

For thou hast maintained my right, х `aasiytaa (H6213) mishpaaTiy (H4941)] - literally, 'Thou madest my right;' i:e., thou gavest the decision which was due to my righteous cause. The question at issue between Satan, the adversary, and the Lords people, is not to be decided by might, but by right. Messiah is their Vindicator and Law-fulfiller (Romans 8:33-34).

Thou satest in the throne - as the place rightfully belonging to lª- thee.

Judging right - rather, 'judging righteousness' х tsedeq (H6664)]: a different Hebrew word from that for "right" in the former clause.
