“At the appointed times, ^{▼▼ Heb “when I take an appointed time.”}
I judge ^{▼▼ Heb “I, [in] fairness, I judge.” The statement is understood in a generalizing sense; God typically executes fair judgment as he governs the world. One could take this as referring to an anticipated (future) judgment, “I will judge.”} fairly.
3 When the earth and all its inhabitants dissolve in fear, ^{▼▼ Heb “melt.”}
I make its pillars secure.” ^{▼▼ The statement is understood in a generalizing sense; God typically prevents the world from being overrun by chaos. One could take this as referring to an anticipated event, “I will make its pillars secure.”} (Selah)
