Psalms 9:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

But the Lord shall endure for ever. From speaking TO God, in confident anticipation of his destruction of the enemy's strongholds (Psalms 9:6), David passes to speak OF God's perpetuity of reign, in contrast to the enemy's 'short time' of usurpation (Revelation 12:12) as "prince of this world."

He hath prepared his throne for judgment. The Hebrew х kowneen (H3559)] is the same as in Proverbs 3:19, margin. He hath 'solidly established' it; not as the throne of wickedness, which rests on a basis of sand. God's throne rests on "righteousness" (Psalms 9:8), as well as power. Every triumph of right over wrong now is an earnest of the final judgment in righteousness.
