Psalms 33:21
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
BSB
ASV
For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
KJV
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
For our heart shall rejoice in him,.... Not in sin, nor in themselves and in their boastings, all such rejoicing is evil; but in the Lord, "in his Word"; as the Targum is, in the essential Word of God, Christ Jesus; in his person, righteousness, and salvation; and this joy is heart joy, inward joy, real joy, joy in the Holy Ghost; and is unspeakable and full of glory.
For our hearts shall rejoice in him. The duty commended and commanded in the first verse is here presented to the Lord. We, who trust, cannot but be of a glad heart, our inmost nature must triumph in our faithful God. Because we have trusted in his holy name. The root of faith in due time bears the flower of rejoicing. Doubts breed sorrow, confidence creates joy.
Our faith measures mercy (Mt 9:29); and if of grace, it is no more of debt (Ro 11:6).
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
