The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 75:2

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

When I shall receive the congregation; rather, when I shall have appointed a set time. It is agreed that the speaker, in this verse and the next, is God, who announces that he is about to descend in judgment.

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. Psalms 58:1).
