Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

), dares not do any wrong to any man, but does to every man all the good he can, and that from a principle of compassion and kindness. It was said of God, in the foregoing psalm (

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

), who are really as good as they seem to be, and deal faithfully both with God and man. There is no true religion without sincerity; that is gospel-perfection. They are both just and kind in all their dealings: He is gracious, full of compassion, and righteous (

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

), He is gracious, and full of compassion; and here it is said of the good man that he is so; for herein we must be followers of God as dear children; be merciful as he is. He is full of compassion, and yet righteous; what he does good with is what he came honestly by.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

It is here implied that good men may be in affliction; the promise does not exempt them from that. They shall have their share in the common calamities of human life; but, when they sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to them, Mic. vii. They shall be supported and comforted under their troubles; their spirits shall be lightsome when their outward condition is clouded.
