Psalms 98:9

Before the Lord, for he cometh to judge the earth,....

Psalms 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 Psalms 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

Isaiah 11:3.
