John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
(u) , TZADDI.--The
Eighteenth Part.
TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O Lord
Essentially, originally, and of himself; naturally, immutably,
and universally, in all his ways and works of nature and grace;
in his thoughts, purposes, counsels, and decrees; in all the
dispensations of his providence; in redemption, in the
justification of a sinner, in the pardon of sin, and in the gift
of eternal life through Christ;
and upright [are] thy judgments;
they are according to the rules of justice and equity; the
precepts of the word, the doctrines of the Gospel, as well as the
judgments of God inflicted on wicked men, and all the
providential dealings of God with his people, and also the final
judgment.
