Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 75:2

2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly .

To wit, the whole Congregation, or Body of thy People, to wit, all the Tribes; which are now distracted and disordered by a Civil War, which is a great hinderance to the Administration of Justice. Or, when I shall receive or obtain the appointment, (i. e.) What God hath appointed and promised to me, to wit, the full and firm Possession of the Kingdom: Or, the time, or place appointed by God for that work. Some make these and the following passages, the Words of God concerning his Church, or People. Which seems not probable; Partly, because he speaks of God in the third Person, a[illegible: 1+ letters] one distinct from him that speaks these Words, v. 7, 8. and Partly, because it is Evident, that one and the same Person speaks from hence to the end of the Psalm, and the ninth Verse cannot be spoken by God.

I will not use my Power Tyrannically and Wickedly, as Saul did, and as most other Princes do; but Holily and Righteously for the good of my People.
