Bible Comments

When righteous men do rejoice — i.e., prosper, or triumph.

There is great glory. — Men rejoice, and array themselves in their gayest attire.

A man is hidden. — Literally, is sought for. They hide themselves for fear (comp. Proverbs 28:28), and must be sought for, in order to be found.
