כִּֽי־צַדִּ֣יק יְ֭הוָה צְדָק֣וֹת אָהֵ֑ב יָ֝שָׁ֗ר יֶחֱז֥וּ פָנֵֽימוֹ׃

For the LORD is righteous, He loveth righteousness; the upright shall behold His face.

Rashi on Psalms

For the Lord is righteous; He loves [workers of] righteousness and has mercy on the righteous and loves those whose faces see the straight [way], in whose sight the straight way is proper.

Rashi on Psalms

whose faces approve of the straight This refers to “The Lord is righteous; He loves [workers of] righteousness and those whose faces approve of the straight [way].” Our Sages [Mid. Ps. 11:2, Sanh. 26a, Lev. Rabbah 5:5] interpreted “the wicked tread the bow” as referring to Shebna and his company, and they interpreted “the upright of heart” as referring to Hezekiah and his company.
