At the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.
John Gill
Before the Lord, for he cometh to judge the earth,.... See Gill on Psa 96:13, with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity; both at his first and second coming, and during the intermediate time; see the note as before. The only difference is, that in Psa 96:13, it is said that he shall judge the people "with his truth", here "with equity", or "uprightnesses" (f); in the most upright manner, according to the strictest rules of justice and judgment; see Isa 11:3. (f) "in rectitudinibus", Montanus, Michaelis. Next: Psalms Chapter 99
