Contextual Overview

¹³ Distant ones, hear what I have done; and you near ones, know My might. ¹⁴ The sinners of Zion are afraid; terror has seized profane ones; who of us shall tarry with consuming fire? Who of us shall tarry with everlasting burnings? ¹⁵ He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from taking the bribe, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil. ¹⁶ He shall live on high; strongholds of rocks will be his retreat; his bread shall be given; his waters are faithful. ¹⁷ Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty; they shall see a land that is very far off. ¹⁸ Your heart shall ponder terror: Where is he counting? Where is he weighing? Where is he counting the towers? ¹⁹ You shall not see the fierce people, from hearing a people of a deep lip, of a foreign tongue, that none understands. ²⁰ Behold, Zion, the city of our appointed meetings! Your eyes shall see Jerusalem, a quiet home, a tent that shall not be moved; its stakes shall not be pulled up forever, nor shall any of its cords be pulled off. ²¹ But majestic Jehovah will place there for us a place of rivers and streams, broad on both hands; a ship with oars shall not go in it, and a majestic boat shall not pass through it. ²² For Jehovah is our judge; Jehovah is our lawgiver; Jehovah is our king; He will save us.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the Lord [is] our Judge,.... The Lord Christ, who has all judgment committed to him by the Father, who will judge his people, right their wrongs, and avenge their injuries:

the Lord [is] our Lawgiver; who has enacted wholesome laws for his church, writes them on their hearts, and puts his Spirit within them, to enable them to keep them:

the Lord [is] our King: King of saints, King of Zion, made so by his Father, owned by his church, under whose government it is in safety:

he will save us; from all sin, and from all enemies, with an everlasting salvation. The church here speaks with great pleasure of her interest in Christ under every character, and of her safety as depending upon him. The Targum is,

"the Lord is our Judge, who brought us by his power out of Egypt; the Lord is our teacher, who gave us the doctrine of the law from Sinai; the Lord is our King, he will redeem us, and take vengeance of judgment for us on the army of Gog;''

which shows that the ancient Jews understood this prophecy as referring to times yet to come.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For the Lord is our judge - Yahweh will be to us nothing but a source of happiness, truth, and prosperity. His presence will be to us only a blessing, and a means of success and joy. The repetition of the name Yahweh three times is common in the Scriptures.
