Psalms 9:7 - Exposition

But the Lord shall endure for ever ; rather, but the Lord is seated ( i.e. upon his throne)for ever. Cities and nations perish, but Jehovah remains a King for evermore. While all is change and disturbance upon earth, the unchanged and unchangeable Eternal One continues constantly seated, in serene majesty, in heaven. He hath prepared (or rather, established ) his throne for judgment (compare the second clause of per. 4).
