Psalms 24:5 Summary
Psalms 24:5 is a promise that those who have a pure heart and clean hands will receive blessing and vindication from God. This means that when we live a life that honors God, we can expect to experience His goodness and protection (as seen in Psalms 23:4). It's not just about what we do, but about who we are in our hearts, and as we seek to follow God and trust in His salvation, we can have confidence in His blessing and vindication (Romans 8:28). By living a life that is pleasing to God, we can experience the fullness of His blessing and vindication in our daily lives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of blessing will the person in Psalms 24:5 receive from the LORD?
The blessing received will be a spiritual one, as seen in Psalms 1:1-3, where the blessed person delights in the law of the LORD and prospers in all they do, and in Matthew 5:3-12, where the blessed are those who are poor in spirit, mourn, and are persecuted for righteousness' sake.
How does one receive vindication from the God of their salvation?
Vindication comes from trusting in God's salvation, as stated in Romans 8:33-34, where it is written that God justifies those who trust in Him, and in Psalms 37:39, which says salvation comes from the LORD.
Is this verse only talking about salvation or does it include our daily lives?
This verse encompasses both, as the person with clean hands and a pure heart, as mentioned in Psalms 24:4, will experience God's blessing and vindication in their daily walk with Him, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6, where trusting in the LORD leads to making straight paths.
How can we apply Psalms 24:5 to our lives as Christians?
By following the example in Psalms 24:4, having clean hands and a pure heart, and seeking the face of God, as mentioned in Psalms 24:6, we can experience the blessing and vindication promised in Psalms 24:5, and as in 2 Corinthians 7:1, we cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 24:5
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,.... Or "who receives" (l); the future for the present; and so is a continuation of the description of a person proper to enter and abide in the church of
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 24:5
He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 24:5
The blessing, i.e. the blessings which God hath promised to his church and people, to wit, grace and glory, and all other good things, as they are summed up, . He and he only shall be truly blessed. From the Lord; which is added significantly, by way of opposition to the blessings which men received, either from the priests or from other men, which were oftentimes given unto unworthy persons, and in that case were without any effect or benefit; whereas God’ s blessings are given only to good men, and are always effectual for their good. Righteousness, i.e. the blessed fruit or reward of his righteousness, as the work is oft put for the reward of it, as . Or, kindness or mercy, and those benefits which flow from it, which are oft called by the name of righteousness, as 112:9.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 24:5
Psalms 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.Ver. 5. He shall receive the blessing of the Lord] i.e. Omnimodam felieitatem, all manner of mercies, saith Vatablus; he shall be as happy as heart can wish; for great is the gain of godliness. See my Righteous Man’ s Recompense. And righteousness, &c.] i.e. The fruit and reward of righteousness, which the righteous God will not fail to bestow upon all his; even the crown of righteousness, 2 Timothy 4:8. A grave interpreter hath here observed, that there is such a reciprocation between the description of this reward and the persons described, that the blessedness assured to the persons exciteth them to the care of piety; and this care of piety bringeth unto them a sure and firm expectation of blessedness (Ames).
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 24:5
(5) Righteousness.—This is the real blessing that comes from God. That virtue is her own reward, is the moral statement of the truth. The highest religious statement must be looked for in Christ’s “Beatitudes.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 24:5
Verse 5. He shall receive the blessing] Perhaps alluding to Obed-edom, at whose house the ark had been lodged, and on whom God had poured out especial blessings. And righteousness] Mercy: every kind of necessary good. It is the mercy of God that crowns the obedience and fidelity of good men. For what made them good and faithful? God's mercy. What crowns their fidelity? God's mercy.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 24:5
5. the blessing] R.V. rightly, a blessing. righteousness] ‘Righteousness’ is blessing in another aspect. Jehovah manifests Himself to the godly man, as ‘the God of his salvation’ (Psalms 25:5; Psalms 27:9); and this ‘salvation’ is the witness to and reward for his upright conduct. See 1 Samuel 26:23; Psalms 18:20; Psalms 18:24; Psalms 58:11. In the light of N.T. revelation the words receive a deeper meaning. See Matthew 5:6.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 24:5
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord - literally, “He shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh.” The blessing here referred to means His favor and friendship. He shall be recognized and treated as His.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 24:5
5. Blessing—Refers especially to 2 Samuel 6:11-12. Righteousness— “That moral perfection which is the restored and realized image of God.”—Delitzsch. Matthew 5:6
