I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, || I recount all Your wonders, ²I rejoice and exult in You, || I praise Your Name, O Most High.³In my enemies turning backward, || They stumble and perish from Your face. ⁴For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, || Judging [with] righteousness. ⁵You have rebuked nations, || You have destroyed the wicked, || You have blotted out their name for all time and forever. ⁶The enemy—[your] destructions have been completed forever, || As for cities you have plucked up, || Their memorial has perished with them. ⁷And YHWH abides for all time, || He is preparing His throne for judgment. ⁸And He judges the world in righteousness, || He judges the peoples in uprightness. ⁹And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, || A tower for times of adversity. ¹⁰They trust in You who know Your Name, || For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I will be glad and rejoice in thee,.... Not in himself, in any attainments or works of his; not in his wisdom, riches, and strength, nor in his warlike exploits, but in the Lord; not in second causes, in horses and chariots, in armies, and in the courage and valour of men, but in God, as the author of deliverance, victory, and salvation; not in God only as the God of nature and providence, but as the God of all grace, and as his covenant God and Father; and because of the blessings of this covenant, as forgiveness of sin, a justifying righteousness, c. for he rejoiced not in his own righteousness, but in the righteousness of Christ, as well as in his person, grace, and sacrifice so the Chaldee paraphrase renders it, "I will be glad and rejoice", במימרך, "in thy Word", the Logos, the essential Word of God, of whom there were many types, promises, and prophecies in the former dispensation; two words being here used express the greatness of this joy, and especially the latter word denotes a very vehement joy, a joy unspeakable and full of glory; such as arises from a sight of Christ the object, and which the psalmist had now in view; and this was not a carnal and worldly joy, but joy in the Holy Ghost;

I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High; that is, to the glory of his name, his being, and perfections, as displayed in his marvellous works, and in the revelation of his word, and especially in his son; and under the character of the "most high" God, the supreme Being over all creatures, angels and men; see Psalms 7:17.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will be glad - I will rejoice, and will express my joy.

And rejoice in thee - I will exult; I will triumph. That is, he would express his joy in God - in knowing that there was such a Being; in all that he had done for him; in all the evidences of his favor and friendship.

Will sing praise to thy name - To thee; the name often being put for the person.

O thou Most High - Thou who art supreme - the God over all. See the notes at Psalms 7:17.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
