Commentary on Psalms 50:6

Theological / Devotional

His righteousness. This text will receive an ultimate, unique fulfillment at the time of Christ’s second coming, when “there appears against the sky a hand holding two tables of stone folded together. … That holy law, God’s righteousness, … is now revealed to men as the rule of judgment”.

God is judge himself. Man’s judgment has often been wrong, as when criminals have been acquitted or holy martyrs adjudged the vilest of criminals. But in the last great day “God is judge himself”, and each may expect justice.

Selah. See p. 629.
