Psalm 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Among the Mexican Catholics there used to be great anxiety to provide themselves with a priest's cast-off robe to be buried in. These were begged or bought as the greatest of treasures; kept in sight or always at hand to remind them of approaching death. When their last hour drew near this robe was flung over their breasts and they died happy, their stiffening fingers grasping its folds. The robe of Christ's righteousness is not provided for the dying hour merely, for the hasty investiture of the spirit when about to be ushered into the presence of the King. Parallel Verses KJV: He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.WEB: He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation. |
