(2) When I.--Rather, When I have chosen my time, I will judge uprightly. This sense: "my time" being shown by the emphatic "I" of the Hebrew. (Comp. Acts 17:31.) The word rendered in the Authorised Version "congregation" (moed), has plainly here its first derivative sense of a set time, or "occasion." (Comp. Psalm 102:13; Habakkuk 2:3.) So LXX. and Vulg. here; but Symmachus gives "synagogue." It is quite clear that the speaker of these words is God Himself, who suddenly, as in Psalm 46:10, breaks in with the announcement of judgment. But how far the Divine utterance extends in the psalm is not quite clear. Some end it with Psalm 75:3; others with Psalm 75:5. . . . Verse 2. - When I shall receive the congregation; rather, when I shall have appointed a set time.

This, however, he will do "at his own set time," for which men must wait patiently (comp. Habakkuk 2:3). I will judge uprightly; or, "with uprightness" (comp. Psalm 58:1).Parallel Commentaries ...
