Commentaries on Psalms 50:6
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness - Shall make it known, or announce it.

For God is judge himself - The judgment is not committed to mortal men, or even to angels.

However, those who have been unfaithful will not receive blessings when the heavens and earth testify against them (see Deuteronomy 30:19; 31:28; 32:1; Isaiah 1:2). The Lord comes to restore order to the world (see Psalms 5:8; 22:31; 33:5; 40:9; 50:6; 71:16; 97:6).Read the comment
