What is the context?
The Lord’s righteousness and kindness are followed by nearness to those calling in truth. The fears, desires, cries, and love of His people are brought into the account of care.
The wicked face destruction, while those who love Him are preserved. The song does not make divine compassion indifference to evil.
The speaker ends by inviting every creature into enduring praise. The wide summons should not be used to remove the distinction between truthful trust and wickedness that the same lines maintain.
How is this passage commonly understood?
