Psalms 32:11 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

7). He Calls On All The Righteous To Be Glad In YHWH, and For Those Who Are Upright In Heart To Shout for Joy.

Psalms 32:11

‘Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous,

And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.'

The Psalm finishes with a joyous call for all who are His to be glad in Him and to rejoice with shouting. Note their description as ‘the righteous' (covenant-keepers) and ‘upright'. There is no such call to those who are still in their sins. For this idea of rampant rejoicing compare Psalms 5:11; Psalms 33:1; Nehemiah 8:10; Philippians 3:1; Philippians 4:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:16.

Psalms 32:11

11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
