For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness: his countenance doth
behold the just.
Brethren:
God,
is righteousness personified. Our best efforts do not even come close
to being as He is. However, he does smile upon those that seek to
emulate His righteousness by being just, merciful and upright in
heart. Therefore seek to do those things that reflect those
attributes. Likewise be honorable in all your comings and goings, and
in all that you do. Also
consider today; Psalms 33:5 and 45:7 - Doktor Riktor Von Zhades -
Servant of Christ
“ The
Lord is righteous in himself, and in all his ways and works; and
therefore righteousness, as it lies both in punishing the wicked, and
in maintaining the righteous cause of his people, must be loved by
him, it being agreeable to his nature: he loves to exercise
righteousness in the earth, to administer it to and among men; this
he delights in. He is well pleased with the righteousness of his Son,
it being satisfactory to his justice, and that by which his law is
magnified and made honourable; and he is well pleased with his
people, as they are clothed with it: and he approves of their
righteous actions, as they are done in obedience to his righteous
law, in faith, from a principle of love, and with a view to his
glory; these are acceptable to him in Christ.
God
looks with pleasure upon them, and takes delight in them, and takes
care of them, protects and defends them, and at last saves them; and
which, with all that goes before, was an encouragement to David to
trust in the Lord, and moreover, the Lord lifts up the light of his
countenance on such, and indulges them with his gracious presence,
than which nothing is more comfortable and desirable. Some choose to
render the word, "their countenance" meaning the trinity of
Persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, who all have a gracious regard to
such: others render the clause thus, "the upright shall see his
face", the face of God; so the Chaldee paraphrase and the Arabic
version (Read Psalms 17:15 ) .” - John Gill - Theologian
