This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The King’s strength also loveth judgment; though his dominion be absolute and uncontrollable, and his power irresistible, yet he doth not abuse it to tyranny and oppression, as the princes of the world commonly do, but tempers and manageth it with righteousness; and not only doth judge justly, but, which is more, loves to do so. The King’s strength is by a known Hebraism put for the strong or powerful King.



Establish equity, to wit, in all thy proceedings. Equity is thy constant and stable course. In Jacob; amongst thine own people; who, when they do amiss, he punisheth no less than other people, as he notes below, Psa_99:8, whereby he showeth that he is no respecter of persons, but a righteous and impartial Judge to all sorts of men.
