Contextual Overview

¹²Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance. ¹³The LORD looks [down] from heaven; He sees all the sons of man; ¹⁴From His dwelling place He looks closely Upon all the inhabitants of the earth— ¹⁵He who fashions the hearts of them all, Who considers and understands all that they do. ¹⁶The king is not saved by the great size of his army; A warrior is not rescued by his great strength. ¹⁷A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. ¹⁸Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness, ¹⁹To rescue their lives from death And keep them alive in famine. ²⁰We wait [expectantly] for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. ²¹For in Him our heart rejoices, Because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] in His holy name.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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. This is what the psalmist calls upon the saints to do, in the beginning of the psalm; and so his end in composing it is answered;

because we have trusted in his holy name; that is, in himself, who is holy, just, and good; and so faithful to every word of promise, to every engagement of his, and therefore to be trusted in: and hence it appears that the joy before spoken of is the joy of faith.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For our heart shall rejoice in him - See the notes at Psalms 13:5.

Because we have trusted in his holy name - In “him,” the “name” often being put for the person himself. See the notes at Psalms 20:1. The idea is:

(a) that the fact of our having put our trust in God is in itself an occasion of joy or rejoicing;

(b) that the result will be joy, for we shall never be disappointed.

It will always, and in all circumstances, be a source of joy to anyone that he HAS put his trust in the name of God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 33:21. For our heart shall rejoice in him — Here is the fruit of our confidence: our souls are always happy, because we have taken God for our portion.
