Psalms 50:3

“Our God shall come, etc.] That is, Christ, who is truly and properly God, and who was promised and expected as a divine Person; and which was necessary on account of the work he came about; and believers claim an interest in him as their God; and he is their God, in whom they trust, and whom they worship: and this coming of his is to be understood, not of his coming in the flesh; for though that was promised, believed, and prayed for, as these words are by some rendered, “may our God come” f669; yet at his first coming he was silent, his voice was not heard in the streets, (<401219>Matthew 12:19); nor did any fire or tempest attend that: nor is it to be interpreted of his second coming, or…”

“Our God shall come - That is, he will come to judgment. This language is derived from the supposition that God “will” judge the world, and it shows that this doctrine was understood and believed by the Hebrews. The New Testament has stated the fact that this will be done by the coming of his Son Jesus Christ to gather the nations before him, and to pronounce tile final sentence on mankind: Matthew 25:31; Acts 17:31; Acts 10:42; John 5:22. And shall not keep silence - That is, the will come forth and “express” his judgment on the conduct of mankind. See the notes at Psalms 28:1. He “seems” now to be silent. No voice is heard. No sentence is pronounced. But this will not always be the case.…”

“Our God - The prophet speaks this in the persons of the worshippers of God. Though he be our God, yet he will come to execute judgment upon us. Cease - Or delay to sit in judgment. Tempestuous - This is a farther description of that terrible majesty, wherewith God would clothe himself when he came to his tribunal. Psalms 50:4”
