Gill's Notes on the Bible
The King's strength also loveth judgment,.... Or he who is a strong and mighty King, as Christ is; which appears by saving his people, and preserving them to his kingdom and glory, and by destroying all his and their enemies; but, though he is so potent and victorious a Prince, yet no tyrannical one, he loves and does what is just and righteous; he loved the righteous law of God, and obeyed it in the whole course of his life; he wrought out a perfect righteousness for his people, and encourages and loves righteousness in them; he will judge the world in righteousness hereafter; and is now on his throne, and in his kingdom, ordering it with judgment and justice; all the administrations of his kingly office are just and true, and herein he delights:
thou dost establish equity, or "equities" a; uprightnesses, righteousnesses; a perfect and a complete righteousness:
this he has prepared b, as the word signifies, by his obedience, sufferings, and death, and has established as an everlasting one; moreover, equity, righteousness, and justice, are the settled rules and laws of his government; see Isaiah 9:7,
thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob; among the true Israel and people of God, as David his type did, 2 Samuel 8:15, thereby keeping them in due order, in the observance of his righteous judgments and statutes, and defending them from their enemies.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The kingâs strength - The word king here undoubtedly refers to God as a king, Psalms 99:1. The word rendered âstrength,â means power, force; and the reference here is to what constitutes the main strength or power of his character and government. It is rendered in the Septuagint, ÏÎ¹Î¼Î·Ì timeÌ - âhonor.â So in the Latin Vulgate - âhonor.â DeWette renders it, âThe praise of the king who loves judgment.â So Rosenmuller, âLet them praise the strength - the power - of the king who loves judgment.â But perhaps our common version best expresses the sense, that whatever there is in the character of the âking,â that is God, which constitutes strength, or gives power to his administration, is favorable to justice, or will be exerted in the cause of right. Godâs essential character; all the acts of his power; all the demonstrations of his authority, will be in favor of justice, and may be relied on as sustaining the righteous cause. It is not the âmereâ exertion of power - it is power that is always exercised in favor of right; and this lays the foundation of praise. We could not praise a being of âmereâ power, or one who was merely âalmighty,â without respect to his moral character. It is only when the character is such that power will be exerted in favor of that which is right and just that it becomes the proper subject of praise.
Loveth judgment - Is always on the side of justice and right. He so loves justice that his power will be put forth only in behalf of that which is right. God shows this by his law, and by all the acts of his administration.
Thou dost establish equity - That which is equal and just; alike by thy law, and by thine interpositions. All that thou doest, and all that thou dost appoint, is in favor of that which is equal and just.
Thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob - That which is just; that which ought to be done. Thou doest this among thy people; thou doest it in their relation to the surrounding nations. All the acts of thy administration tend to the establishment of that which is right.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 99:4. The king's strength — If this Psalm were written by David, he must mean by it that he was God's vicegerent or deputy, and that, even as king, God was his strength, and the pattern according to which equity, judgment, and righteousness should be executed in Jacob.
