In this verse, the Lord's pleasure in His people is made clear. The "meek" are those who are humble and submissive to God, and it is they who are "beautified" by salvation. The beauty here is not about outward appearance but an inward transformation brought about by God’s grace. Meekness, often seen as weakness in the world’s eyes, is actually a sign of strength and humility in the eyes of God. The Lord takes delight in those who are humble and gracious, and through salvation, He bestows upon them a beauty that comes from His presence. This verse speaks to the way in which salvation changes us, giving us a beauty that surpasses anything we could create on our own. It reflects the inner beauty that comes from a life surrendered to God, one that is radiant with His grace and peace. The Lord’s act of beautifying the meek is a powerful reminder that true beauty comes not from external features but from a heart transformed by His love and mercy.
Song of Solomon 6:9
My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother.
Psalm 27:4
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.
Psalm 45:11
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
