Contextual Overview

1Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me. 2Take hold of shield and buckler (small shield), And stand up for my help. 3Draw also the spear and javelin to meet those who pursue me. Say to my soul, "I am your salvation." 4Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life; Let those be turned back [in defeat] and humiliated who plot evil against me. 5Let them be [blown away] like chaff before the wind [worthless, without substance], With the angel of the LORD driving them on. 6Let their way be dark and slippery, With the angel of the LORD pursuing and harassing them. 7For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit [of destruction] for my life. 8Let destruction come upon my enemy by surprise; Let the net he hid for me catch him; Into that very destruction let him fall. 9Then my soul shall rejoice in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation.10All my bones will say, "LORD, who is like You, Who rescues the afflicted from him who is too strong for him [to resist alone], And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord,.... Not in the destruction of his enemies, but in the God of his salvation; the Targum is, "in the Word of the Lord"; the essential Word of God, the promised Messiah, Saviour, and Redeemer. Christ is the object of a believer's joy; he rejoices in his person, as he is the mighty God, able to save him, and to keep what he has committed to him, and to preserve him from falling; as he is God and man in one person, and so fit to be a Mediator between God and man; and as he is a Prophet to instruct him, a Priest to expiate his sin and make intercession for him, and as a King to rule over, protect, and defend him; and as he stands in the relations of a father, husband, brother, and friend: he rejoices in what he has done and is doing; in that this Word is made flesh, and has obtained eternal redemption, and now appears in the presence of God, as an advocate and intercessor: it follows,

it shall rejoice in his salvation; that which Jehovah the Father has determined upon, provided for, and has formed the scheme of; that which Jehovah the Son undertook to accomplish, and now has finished; and that which Jehovah the Spirit had made a discovery and application of unto the psalmist, in answer to his request in Psalms 35:3. This filled him with so much joy, as it does every believer that has a view of interest in it; seeing hereby the law is fulfilled, justice is satisfied, sin is atoned for, the pardon of it is procured, an everlasting righteousness is brought in, and a solid foundation laid for hope of eternal glory and happiness.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord - That is, I shall be joyful, or will rejoice. This is said in anticipation of the interposition of God in destroying his enemies, and in delivering him from danger. It is not joy in the destruction of others; it is joy that he himself would be delivered. Our own deliverance from the hand of our enemies may involve the necessity of their being cut off. What we rejoice in, in such a case, is not their ruin, but our own deliverance; and for this it can never be improper to give thanks. The psalmist says that he would rejoice “in the Lord.” It would not be in his own skill or valor, but in what God had done to save him. See the notes at Psalms 34:2.

It shall rejoice in his salvation - For the salvation or deliverance that he brings to me.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 35:9. My soul — My life, thus saved -

Shall be joyful in the Lord — I am so circumstanced at present as to be in the utmost danger of being destroyed by my foes; if I escape, it must be by the strong arm of the Lord; and to him shall the glory be given.
