9. And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord. Thus rescued, David ascribes all the honor to the Judge of the right.
He turns away from his adversaries to his God, and finds a deep unbroken joy in
Jehovah, and in that joy his spirit revels. It shall rejoice in hissalvation. We do not triumph in the destruction of others, but in the
salvation given to us of God. Prayer heard should always suggest praise. It
were well if we were more demonstrative in our holy rejoicings. We rob God by
suppressing grateful emotions.
