Psalms 24:5

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,.... Or "who receives" ; the future for the present; and so is a continuation of the description of a person proper to enter and abide in the church of God, as seems to require; even one who has received every spiritual blessing in Christ in general, special grace out of his fulness; particularly the blessing of pardon, as also adoption, and a right to eternal life; though it may be that the following clause is explanative of this;and righteousness from the God of his salvation; from Christ, who is God his Saviour, the author of salvation; and who has brought in an everlasting righteousness, which is in him, and is a gift of his grace, and is received from him by faith, and is a great blessing indeed; it secures from condemnation and death, and entitles to eternal life.
