Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 1:5

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment , nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous .

To wit, because they are ungodly: Or Because, as this particle is sometimes used, as Gen. 38. 26. [illegible: 1 word]. 10. 31. & 14. 43. Psal. 42. 6. for this verse is added to enforce or prove what he said in the former.

(i. e.) Not subsist or endure the trial; or not be justified or carry his cause; as this word is o[illegible: 1+ letters]t used, being opposed to falling, as Psal. 18. 38. & 20. 8. Mal. 3. 2. Luke 21. 36. Rom. 14. 4. Eph. 6. 13.

Either 1. in the time of temporal calamities, when God shall arise to judg and punish them: for then the hearts of the wicked fall, and their consciences are filled with horrour. Or 2. in that great and general judgment of the whole World, called here that judgment emphatically, in that solemn and general Congregation of all mankind, as the next words express it.

(i. e.) In that society which shall consist of none but righteous Persons, or amongst the righteous ones▪on Christs right hand, Mat. 25. 32.
