The King’s strength also loveth judgment, etc.] Or he who is a strong and mighty King, as Christ is; which appears by saving his people, and preserving them to his kingdom and glory, and by destroying all his and their enemies; but, though he is so potent and victorious a Prince, yet no tyrannical one, he loves and does what is just and righteous; he loved the righteous law of God, and obeyed it in the whole course of his life; he wrought out a perfect righteousness for his people, and encourages and loves righteousness in them; he will judge the world in righteousness hereafter; and is now on his throne, and in his kingdom, ordering it with judgment and justice; all the administrations of his kingly office are just and true, and herein he delights: thou dost establish equity, or “equities” f1383; uprightnesses, righteousnesses; a perfect and a complete righteousness: this he has prepared f1384, as the word signifies, by his obedience, sufferings, and death, and has established as an everlasting one; moreover, equity, righteousness, and justice, are the settled rules and laws of his government; (see <230907>Isaiah 9:7 11:4,5), thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob; among the true Israel and people of God, as David his type did, (<100815>2 Samuel 8:15), thereby keeping them in due order, in the observance of his righteous judgments and statutes, and defending them from their enemies.
