From David's Psalm of Praise

The LORD is righteous in all His ways,
Gracious in all His works.


The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.


He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.


The LORD preserves all who love Him,


Psalm145 (NKJV)




Bible In Song Commentary (Psalm 145) 


God's ways and works in every case are righteous and holy, and worthy to be praised. In the salvation of his people he is as righteous and holy as in any other of his ways and works: he has not manifested mercy at the expense of justice, but rather he has magnified his righteousness by the death of his Son.


The Lord does not leave praying men, and men who confess his name, to battle with the world alone, but he is ever at their side. To pray in truth, we must have a true heart, and the truth in our heart; and then we must be humble, for pride is a falsehood; and be earnest, or else prayer is a lie.


Holy hearts will desire only what is holy, so God has no problem in fulfilling such desires. He does not promise to grant the desire of the sinner. It would not be wise or kind to do so. As the tender mother's love is drawn out toward the cry of her child, so the Lord's ear is ever attuned to hear the cries of His children.


They that love the Lord have advanced from fearing the Lord and crying to him, to loving him, and in that love they are secure from all danger.
