Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face." — Psalms 11:7 (ASV)

His countenance. —Better, the upright shall behold His countenance. This beautiful religious hope finds its highest expression in the beatitude on the pure in heart. The beatific vision in Dante is its most glorious poetical development.

By the vision of God, the Hebrew poet means the triumph of right and the acknowledgment of his innocence—light and peace after darkness and trouble, as in Job 33:26. (Psalms 41:12.)
