The heart rejoices in him because it has trusted in his holy name, and that trust gives reason for joy. Trusting in his holy name brings joy to the heart. This rejoicing belongs with confidence in God and hope in his mercy. The trust rests on confidence in his loving-kindness and faithfulness.
Grounded in that trust, his people wait for him as their help and shield. Those who heed his words can so wait and rejoice, finding assurance in him. He watches over those who fear him, delivering them from death and sustaining them in famine.
The joy belongs with a life in which he impresses, refines and purifies the heart, mind and life to reflect his image, rather than self seeking prominence and magnification. Trust in the living God is to shape the character and confidence of his people.
