Psalms 140:13

“Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name, etc.] The same with the poor and the afflicted; who, though traduced by men, and evil spoken of and ill used by them, are righteous in the sight of God; being justified by the righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to them, and received by faith, in consequence of which they live soberly and righteously: these the psalmist knew and was assured they would give thanks to the Lord, and praise his holy name, for the righteousness by which they are made righteous, and for every other blessing of grace and mercy of life; for maintaining their cause and their right, and for the ruin and destruction of their enemies; see (<661820>Revelation…”

“Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name - Unto thee. (1) they will have occasion to do it; (2) they will be disposed to do it. They will not be unmindful of the favors conferred upon them; it will be a characteristic of them that they “will” be thankful. The upright shall dwell in thy presence - They shall be under thy protection; they shall be admitted to thy favor; they shall dwell in thy dwelling-place. (1) On earth they shall enjoy his favor - “as if” they abode with God. (2) in heaven they will be permitted to dwell with him forever. The general idea of the psalm is, that the poor, the persecuted, the afflicted, if righteous, shall enjoy the favor and protection of God. God…”
