But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.
BSB
ASV
But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
KJV
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
What a change is here! Lo, the rain is over and gone, and the time of the singing of birds is come. The mercy-seat has so refreshed the poor weeper, that he clears his throat for a song. If we have mourned with him, let us now dance with him.
His faith in God's mercy filled his heart with joy in his salvation; for joy and peace come by believing, Rom. xv. Believing, you rejoice, 1 Pet. i. Having put his trust in the mercy of God, he is fully assured of salvation, and that his heart, which was now daily grieving, should rejoice in that salvation.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
