"According to Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness." Psalm 48:10
Passages that speak of the arms and hands of God have a special interest for me, and since finding cross-reference passages is fun, that is where my studies held me on this particular morning. I found many passages, mostly neighbor verses in the Psalms on the right hand of the Lord, which from the verse above, we know is full of righteousness, so that promise can be inserted into the passages regarding His right hand.
Psalm 18:35 came to mind first,
"Thou has also given me the shield of Thy salvation: and Thy right hand hath holden me up, and Thy gentleness (humility, meekness) hath made me great."
- The right hand of the righteousness of the Lord holds me up and gives me security.
"Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy." Exodus 15:6
- The righteous hand of God sets the wicked at naught and makes Satan flee.
"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy: at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." Psalm 16:11
- There is a full, complete, and joyful rest in the righteousness of our Savior's right hand.
"For they got the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou hadst a favour unto them." Psalm 44:3
- The righteousness right hand of the Lord goes before me as a shining light of hope and direction.
"My soul followeth hard after Thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me." Psalm 63:8
- I fall upon the righteous right hand of God to sustain me through this life. Though I fall, the righteousness of the Lord is my stay and all my hope.
"Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me." Psalm 139:10
- I am held in the righteous right hand of Jesus Christ, by His sacrifice, for eternity.
