Verse 5. Blessing. David seems to have given the eulogium of Obededom, whose example taught him that the ark was only terrible to the wicked; and that it was a source of blessings to the just. 2 Kennicott. 6:11.—Mercy. Hebrew “justice.” But these terms are used synonymously, and denote that God gives a just reward; “when he crowns our merits, he crowns his own gifts.” Saint Augustine Theod. Calmet.—Mercy goes before; good works must follow, to obtain eternal glory. Worthington.
