This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Therefore, to wit, because they are ungodly; or because, as this particle is sometimes used, as Gen_38:26 Num_10:31 14:43 Psa_42:6; for this verse is added to enforce or prove what he said in the former.
Shall not stand, i.e. not subsist or endure the trial; or not be justified, or carry his cause, as this word is oft used; being opposed to falling, as Psa_18:38 20:8 Mal_3:2 Luk_21:36 Rom_14:4 Eph_6:13.
In the judgment; either,
1. In the time of temporal calamities, when God shall arise to judge and punish them; for then the hearts of the wicked fail, and their consciences are filled with horror. Or,
2. In that great and general judgment of the whole world, called here
the judgment emphatically; in that solemn and general congregation of all mankind, as the next words express it. In the congregation of the righteous, i.e. In that society which shall consist of none but righteous persons, or amongst the righteous ones on Christ’s right hand, Mat_25:32.
