Commentary on Psalms 50:3

Theological / Devotional

Shall come. That is, to judgment, in a primary sense to expostulate with the inhabitants of earth, as the body of the psalm indicates. In a unique sense the words are also a prediction of the judgment at the end of the world (see Matt. 25:31; Acts 17:31; 2 Tim. 4:1; see on v. 1).

Shall not keep silence. God will make a pronouncement on man’s conduct.

A fire. The imagery may be drawn from God’s manifestation on Mt. Sinai (see Ex. 19:16, 18).
