Contextual Overview

¹ I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works. ² I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High. ³ When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence. ⁴ For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness. ⁵ Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever. ⁶ The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise, ⁷ but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment. ⁸ And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness. ⁹ The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction. ¹⁰ And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the Lord shall endure for ever,.... When antichrist is entirely ruined, his cities destroyed, and the memorial of them perished, then "shall the Lord sit for ever" g, as the words may be rendered; that is, as a Jewish writer h paraphrases them, in rest and quiet. The words may be expressive of the unchangeableness and eternity and power of God; the Chaldee paraphrase of them is, מימרא דיי, "the Word of the Lord is for ever; his habitation is in the highest heavens". And they may very well be interpreted of Christ, the essential Word of God, who is the unchangeable, everlasting, and almighty God; and who sits King for ever, and must sit at God's right hand, in the highest heavens, until all his enemies are made his footstool; and to him most properly do the following things in this verse Psalms 9:8 belong:

he hath prepared his throne for judgment; for the administration of judgment in this world, for the particular judgment after death, and for the general judgment after the resurrection of the dead; which seems by what follows to be chiefly meant, and which will come on after the destruction of antichrist; and all things are preparing for it; the day is appointed in which God will judge the world; Christ is ordained to be the Judge of quick and dead; devils and ungodly men are reserved to the judgment of the great day; the throne is ready, which will be a white one, Revelation 20:11; denoting the purity, justice, and uprightness of the Judge, who himself is at the door.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But the Lord shall endure for ever - Yahweh is eternal - always the same. Though these cities have become desolate, and the enemy has been permitted to triumph, and nations and people have passed away, yet God is ever the same, unaffected by these changes and desolations, and in due time he will always interfere and vindicate his own character, and defend the oppressed and the wronged.

He hath prepared his throne for judgment - See Psalms 9:4. He sits as a just judge among the nations, and he will see that right is done. The wicked, though temporarily prosperous, cannot always triumph; and the righteous, though cast down and oppressed, cannot always remain thus, for God, the just Judge, will rise in their defense and for their deliverance. The unchangeableness of God, therefore, is at the same time the ground of confidence for the righteous, and the ground of dread for the wicked. The eternal principles of right will ultimately triumph.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 9:7. But the Lord shall endure — All things shall have an end but God and holy spirits.
