The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor (comp. Proverbs 16:12; Proverbs 20:28; Proverbs 25:5). Inflexible fidelity to duty is intended—that perfect impartiality, which dispenses justice alike to rich and poor, uninfluenced By personal or social considerations.

His throne shall be established forever. Being founded on righteousness, it shall pass on to his descendants for many generations (comp. Jeremiah 22:3, etc.). The LXX; pointing differently, have, "His throne shall be established for a testimony" (lahed, instead of lahad).
