Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 24:5

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

(i. e.) The Blessings which God hath promised to his Church and People, to wit, Grace and Glory, and all other Good things▪ as they are summed up, Psal. 84. 11. He and he only shall be truly Blessed.

Which is added significantly▪ by way of Opposition to the Blessings, which men received either from the Priests or from other men, which were oftentimes given unto unworthy Persons, and in that Case were without any effect or benefit, whereas God's blessings are given only to good Men, and are always effectual for their Good.

(i. e.) The blessed Fruit or reward of his Righteousness, as the Work is oft put for the reward of it, as Levit. 19. 13. Iob 7. 2. Psal. 109. 20. Or, kindness or mercy, and those Benefits which flow from it, which are oft called by the Name of Righteousness, as Iudg. 5. 11. 1 Sam. 12. 7. Psal. 48. 11. and 112. 9.
