1That is, he shall have a gracious and a speedy answer; he will be favourable unto him, or, he will accept him; as Mr. Broughton renders: 'Tis a very comfortable word, it notes not only to wish well to, or to be at peace, but to be well pleased with another, yea to be delighted, and take pleasure in him. 'Tis not barely, to be appeased and reconciled, to lay down wrath and displeasure conceived against a man, but it notes much sweetness of spirit towards him, and full content or complacency in him (Psal. 149.4.) The Lord taketh pleasure in his people, (they are as the joy of his heart) he will beautify the meek with salvation; he will not only save them, but adorn them with salvation; they shall not only be delivered (after they have lain among the pots, Psal. 68.13.) from the blackness and filth of their adversity, but they shall have a beauty put upon them, or (as it followeth in that Psalm last cited) They shall be as the wings of a Dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. God will be favourable to them, that is, he will give them favours to wear for him, he will put markee of honour upon them, they shall not only be benefited, but beautified and crowned with salvation.
