from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
diligently: Shochair, properly, "rising early to seek" what is greatly desired.
he that seeketh: Proverbs 17:11, Esther 7:10, Psalms 7:15, Psalms 7:16, Psalms 9:15, Psalms 9:16, Psalms 10:2, Psalms 57:6
Reciprocal: Genesis 47:25 - Thou hast 1 Kings 20:7 - seeketh mischief Amos 5:14 - Seek
Gill's Notes on the Bible
He that diligently seeketh good,.... Or "early"; who rises early in the morning, as the word e signifies, and seeks both to do good, and to enjoy it all the day; who, in the first place, seeks the kingdom of God and his righteousness; who, in the morning of his youth, inquires after the best things; and diligently pursues what is for his own good and welfare, and that of others, and for the glory of God:
procureth favour, both of God and men: or, "seeketh favour" f; or that which is acceptable and well-pleasing unto God;
but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him; that seeks to do hurt to others; that which he seeks to do to them shall come upon himself; see Psalms 9:15; so antichrist, that leads into captivity, shall go into captivity; and that kills with the sword, shall be killed by it, Revelation 13:10.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Procureth - Better, striveth after. He who desires good, absolutely, for its own sake, is also unconsciously striving after the favor which attends goodness.
