Summary

In this verse, the psalmist calls upon God to arise and judge the earth, emphasizing the need for divine intervention and justice in a world filled with corruption and oppression. The plea for God to take action reflects a deep trust in His righteousness and sovereignty over all nations. It serves as a reminder that ultimately, God is the ultimate judge who will bring about justice and righteousness in the world, holding all accountable for their actions. This verse encourages believers to have faith in God's perfect timing and authority, knowing that He will one day set all things right.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

The poet closes with the prayer for the realization of that which he has beheld in spirit. He implored God Himself to sit in judgment (שׁפטה as in Lam 3:59), since judgment is so badly exercised upon the earth. All peoples are indeed His נחלה, He has an hereditary and proprietary right among (lxx and Vulgate according to Num 18:20, and frequently), or rather in (בּ as in משׁל בּ, instead of the accusative of the object, Zac 2:11), all nations (ἔθνη) - may He then be pleased to maintain it judicially. The inference drawn from this point backwards, that the Psalm is directed against the possessors of power among the Gentiles, is erroneous. Israel itself, in so far as it acts inconsistently with its theocratic character, belies its sanctified nationality, is a גוי like the גוים, and is put into the same category with these. The judgment over the world is also a judgment over the Israel that is become conformed to the world, and its God-estranged chiefs.
