Contextual Overview

1

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

Let God rise up and scatter his enemies; let those who hate him run away from him. 2 Blow them away as smoke is driven away by the wind. As wax melts before a fire, let the wicked be destroyed before God. 3 But those who do right should be glad and should rejoice before God; they should be happy and glad. 4 Sing to God; sing praises to his name. Prepare the way for him who rides through the desert, whose name is the Lord . Rejoice before him. 5 God is in his holy Temple. He is a father to orphans, and he defends the widows. 6 God gives the lonely a home. He leads prisoners out with joy, but those who turn against God will live in a dry land.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But let the righteous be glad,.... At the incarnation of Christ, which is matter of joy to all people that believe in him; as did Zacharias and Elisabeth, who were both righteous, and also Simeon; and at his resurrection from the dead, since it is for their justification, by which they are denominated righteous; as did the disciples of Christ, and as do saints in all ages; who know the power of his resurrection, and the influence it has on the regeneration of their souls, the justification of their persons now, and the resurrection of their bodies hereafter; and at the destruction of the enemies of Christ and theirs;

let them rejoice before God; in the presence of him; enjoying communion with him; having views of interest in him; as they do when this is the case, and as they will when they shall appear before him, and stand at his right hand at the last day, clothed with his righteousness, and having palms in their hands;

yea, let them exceedingly rejoice; as they have just reason to do, in his person, grace, righteousness, and salvation. All these expressions denote the greatness, frequency, fervency, fulness, and continuance of their joy. They may be rendered in the future, "but the righteous shall be glad" p, &c. so the Targum.

p ישמחו "laetabuntur, exultabunt, et gaudebunt", Pagninus, Montanus, Piscator, Cocceius, Michaelis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But let the righteous be glad - That is, Let them be prosperous and happy; let them be under thy protecting care, and partake of thy favor. While the wicked are driven away like smoke, let the righteous live, and flourish, and be safe. Compare Psalms 32:11.

Let them rejoice beore God - In the presence of God; or as admitted to his presence. The wicked will be driven far off; the righteous will be admitted to his presence, and will rejoice before him.

Yea, let them exceedingly rejoice - Margin, as in Hebrew, rejoice with gladness. The expression is designed to express great joy; joy that is multiplied and prolonged. It is joy of heart accompanied with all the outward expressions of joy.
