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
