But righteousness here takes in our whole duty, whether to God or man, The habitation of thy righteousness; that is, the place where thou exercisest all manner of holy and righteous duties toward God and toward man. Righteousness toward man, first, in distributive justice, giving every one his due in judgement, as thou art a Magistrate: Secondly, Righteousness towards man in commutative justice, giving every one his due in commerce, as thou art a neighbour.
But righteousnesse here takes in our whole duty, whether to God or man, The habitation of thy righteousnesse; that is, the place where thou exercisest all manner of holy and righteous duties toward God and toward man. Righteousnesse toward man, first, in distributive justice, giving every one his due in judgement, as thou art a Magistrate: Secondly, Righteousnesse towards man in commutative justice, giving every one his due in commerce, as thou art a neighbour.
The habitation of thy righteousness.
The habitation of thy righteousnesse.
It is an elegant expression. The Church is sometimes called so, Jer. 31.23. Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, as yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah, and in the Cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity. The Lord bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, and mountain of holiness. This speech they shall use: It seems it had been an ordinary salutation thus to bespeak Judah, O thou habitation of justice or righteousness, and mountain of holiness. Every particular member of the Church is named, A tree of righteousness, Isa. 61.3
