The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 99:4

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

The King's strength also loveth judgment. "The king" is here the Lord, Jehovah (see Psalms 98:3). His "strength," or might, "loves," and is always combined with, right (comp. Isaiah 61:8, "I the Lord love judgment").

Thou dost establish equity. The pronoun is emphatic: "Thou, even thou"—nearly equivalent to "thou only"—"dost establish equity." Thou—again emphatic—"thou, even thou"—executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob; i.

e. governest thy people Israel with strict and absolute justice.
