Psalms 24:5

Psa 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Ver. 5. He shall receive the blessing of the Lord ] i.e. Omnimodam felieitatem, all manner of mercies, saith Vatablus; he shall be as happy as heart can wish; for great is the gain of godliness. See my Righteous Man’s Recompense.

And righteousness, &c. ] i.e. The fruit and reward of righteousness, which the righteous God will not fail to bestow upon all his; even the crown of righteousness, 2 Timothy 4:8 . A grave interpreter hath here observed, that there is such a reciprocation between the description of this reward and the persons described, that the blessedness assured to the persons exciteth them to the care of piety; and this care of piety bringeth unto them a sure and firm expectation of blessedness (Ames).
