Psalms 24:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

The blessing, 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, Psalms 84:11. He and he only shall be truly blessed. From the Lord; 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. Righteousness, i.e. the blessed fruit or reward of his righteousness, as the work is oft put for the reward of it, as Leviticus 19:13 Job 7:2 Psalms 109:20. Or, kindness or mercy, and those benefits which flow from it, which are oft called by the name of righteousness, as Judges 5:11 1 Samuel 12:7 Psalms 48:10, Psalms 112:9.
