Psalm 145:7b
And joyfully sing of Your righteousness.
God's righteousness involves His justice as well as His mercy and grace. It is right-ness in everything He does, because He is love! Because He loves His creation, "He has compassion on all He has made" (v.9). He "opens His hand and satisfies the desires of every living thing," which means that He causes the seasons to grow the food for all the creatures He has made, for this is right. It is often man's rule over his fellow beings that results in famine. We rejoice in God's goodness and righteousness, because when we know His ways and think His positive thoughts (see Philippians 4:8), then we will love Him and our fellow man, and be glad that God is such a good God who does everything righteously. We will rejoice in what is right, and sing the songs that praise His right-ness, His perfection.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
