Psalms 9:7

9:7 But the Lord rules forever;

he reigns in a just manner.

Psalms 97:2

97:2 Dark clouds surround him;

equity and justice are the foundation of his throne.

Psalms 103:19

103:19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven;

his kingdom extends over everything.


tn The construction vav (ו) + subject highlights the contrast between the exalted Lord and his defeated foes (see v. 6).

tn Heb “sits” (i.e., enthroned, see v. 4). The imperfect verbal form highlights the generalization.

tn Heb “he establishes for justice his throne.”

sn The Lord’s throne symbolizes his kingship.

tn Heb “his kingdom rules over all.”
