Psalms 50:23

23. offereth praise— (Ps 50:14), so that the external worship is a true index of the heart.

ordereth . . . aright—acts in a straight, right manner, opposed to turning aside (Ps 25:5). In such, pure worship and a pure life evince their true piety, and they will enjoy God's presence and favor.

Psalms 54:7

7. mine eye . . . desire—(compare Ps 59:10; 112:8), expresses satisfaction in beholding the overthrow of his enemies as those of God, without implying any selfish or unholy feeling (compare Ps 52:6, 7).
