Psalms 145:7

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

145:7. They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness. The Lord’s redeemed people having been filled with his great goodness will retain the happy recollection of it, and it will be their delight to speak with one another of God’s dealings with them, and to compare notes of their experiences. There is no scarcity of matter, and it is not meet that the goodness of the living God should be buried in the grave of ingratitude.

And shall sing of thy righteousness. They will say and then sing of that righteousness which is the sinner’s terror, which even good people mention with deep solemnity. Righteousness received by Gospel light is in reality the secret foundation of the believer’s hope. Since Jesus died as our Substitute, righteousness requires and secures the salvation of all the redeemed. Modern thinkers would expunge the idea of righteousness from their notion of God, but converted people would not. Even a rebel may rejoice in mercy, which he looks upon as laxity, but a loyal subject rejoices that God is so just that not even to save his own elect would he consent to violate the righteousness of his moral government.
