4 Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.
4 Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts!
4 Be good to your good people, God, to those whose hearts are right!
4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, And to those who are upright in their hearts.
4 O Lord, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 125:4
Commentary on Psalm 125:4-5
(Read Psalm 125:4-5)
God's promises should quicken our prayers. The way of holiness is straight; there are no windings or shiftings in it. But the ways of sinners are crooked. They shift from one purpose to another, and turn hither and thither to deceive; but disappointment and misery shall befal them. Those who cleave to the ways of God, though they may have trouble in their way, their end shall be peace. The pleading of their Saviour for them, secures to them the upholding power and preserving grace of their God. Lord, number us with them, in time, and to eternity.
