Psalms 147:11. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
As kings have gloried in their troops, so does God glory in tender hearts that fear him, and that hope in his mercy. I love that double description-" them that fear him," "those that hope in his mercy." There is a mixture there,-fearing and hoping,-but the mixture makes a sweet amalgam of grace. It is like a fisherman’s net; there is the lead to sink it, and here are the corks to float it. If you only hope in his mercy, you shall not come back empty from the great banquet of everlasting love: "Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy."
