Commentary
3 notes on this verseThe righteous shall be glad in the Lord. Admiring his justice and fully acquiescing in its displays, they shall also rejoice at the rescue of injured innocence yet, their joy shall not be selfish or sensual, but altogether in reference to the Lord. And shall trust in him. Their observation of providence shall increase their faith; since he who fulfils his threatenings will not forget his promises. And all the upright in heart shall glory.

all mankind will fear
on Psalms 64:9-10
The plot's undoing is said out loud. All mankind will fear, proclaim the work of God, and ponder what He has done. The righteous are told to rejoice in the LORD, to take refuge in Him, and to exult as upright in heart.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
(3.) Their joy and faith shall both express themselves in a holy boasting: All the upright in heart, that keep a good conscience and approve themselves to God, shall glory, not in themselves, but in the favour of God, in his righteousness and goodness, their relation to him and interest in him. Let him that glories glory in the Lord.
