Psalms 5:12

Compare all

10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.

11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You¹ defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.

12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

Psalms 5:12

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous - A righteous soul is a peculiar object of God' s affectionate regards; and therefore will be a subject of continual blessing.

With favor - Literally, Like a shield, thy favor will crown him. God loves such; and this love is their defense. In all places, times and circumstances, it will preserve them. "Keep yourselves," says the apostle, "in the love of God." He who abides in this love need not fear the face of any adversary. Thus ended the morning' s devotion of this excellent man: a model by which every Christian may frame his own.
