The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, etc.] That truly executes justice and judgment among all his subjects, particularly the poor, who are too often neglected, because they cannot afford persons to plead their cause: such a king was Solomon; and especially the Messiah, of whom he was a type, (<197201>Psalm 72:1,2,4,12,13); his throne shall be established for ever; be secure to him as long as he lives, and to his posterity after; justice to all men, and mercy to the poor, are the support of a prince’s throne; (see <202028>Proverbs 20:28 25:5).
