מדרש על ברכות 107:21
Midrash Tanchuma
But Thou, O Lord, art on high for evermore (Ps. 92:9). Whenever a mortal king judges a man and acquits him, they praise him, but whenever he holds a man guilty, they do not praise him. When the Holy One, blessed be He, benefits a person, His praises are proclaimed: “Blessed is the good and He who does good,” and when evil befalls a person, His praises are also proclaimed: “Blessed be the truthful judge.” Hence, Thou art on high for evermore. Similarly David said: I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. I found trouble and sorrow, but I called upon the name of the Lord (Ps. 116:3–4). And likewise, In God—I will praise His word—In the Lord—I will praise His word (Ps. 56:11). Similarly, Job declared: The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord (Job 1:21).
