Psalms 5:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Let all those that ... trust in thee rejoice - being delivered from all their spiritual and personal enemies, who are the enemies of God also. David classes all the godly with himself. His triumph is the pledge of theirs.

Defendest - Hebrew, 'coverest them over' х taaceek (H5526) `aaleeymow (H5921)].

Them that love thy name. The name of God does not signify His mere appellation, but expresses His native. Thus to love God's name is to love Himself, in so far as He has manifested His nature in relation to us (Isaiah 9:6).
