Gill's Notes on the Bible

The righteous shall be glad in the Lord,.... They rejoice at the vengeance executed on the wicked; but then their joy centres in the Lord: it is not at the ruin of the wicked, simply considered, but because of the glory of God's justice displayed therein, and of his grace and mercy to them. They rejoice in the Lord, because of what he is unto them, and because of what he has done for them; because of his righteousness they are clothed with, from whence they are denominated righteous ones; and because of the salvation he has wrought out for them; and they are the more affected with it when they see the calamities, woes, and destruction of wicked men; :-;

and shall trust in him; who is known by his judgments he executes on the wicked; and the more he is known, be it in what way it will, the more is he trusted in, Psalms 9:10. The Targum paraphrases it,

"and shall trust in his Word;''

either in his word of promise, or rather in his essential Word, Christ;

and all the upright in heart shall glory; not in men, nor in themselves, nor in any creature, or creature enjoyments; nor in their wisdom, strength, riches, nor righteousness; but in Christ, in his wisdom, righteousness, and strength; in whom all the seed of Israel are justified and glory; and in what he is to them, and has done for them; of the upright in heart, Psalms 9:10- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him - That is, As the result of his gracious intervention, or as the effect of his judgments on the wicked, the righteous will rejoice on account of their own security, and put their trust in One who has thus shown himself to be the friend of holiness, and the enemy of sin. Whatever tends to reveal the divine character, or to make a proper exhibition of that character, will also lead good people to confide in God, and to feel that they are safe.

And all the upright in heart shall glory - Shall rejoice; shall feel that they have cause for trust and triumph. The good - the pure - the righteous - the godly - will always rejoice in everything which tends to show that God is just, and true, and holy; - for all their own hope of security and salvation rests upon the fact that the God in whom they trust is a righteous God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 64:10. The righteous shall be glad — They shall see that God does not abandon his followers to the malice of bad men. The rod of the wicked may come into the heritage of the just; but there it shall not rest. Calmet thinks that this is a prediction of the destruction of the Chaldeans, in consequence of which the Jewish people became highly respected by all the surrounding nations. But it may be applied more generally to the enmity of the wicked against the righteous, and how God counterworks their devices, and vindicates and supports his own followers.

ANALYSIS OF THE SIXTY-FOURTH PSALM

I. The psalmist, in danger, commends his cause to God, Psalms 64:1-2.

II. Complains of his enemies, who are described by their inward devices, and outward conduct, Psalms 64:3-6.

III. He foretells their ruin, and the consequences, Psalms 64:7-10.

I. 1. He prays in general: "Hear my voice."

2. Then in special, that his life may be safe: "Hide me from the secret counsel," c., Psalms 64:2.

He describes his enemies, generally: -

1. They were wicked men.

2. They were workers of iniquity.

3. They worked secret counsels against him.

4. They acted according to their counsels.

II. After this general character, he particularly describes their villany.

1. They were calumniators no sword sharper than their tongue, no arrow swifter than their accusations.

They were diligent and active to wound his credit; and the evil of their conduct was aggravated by two circumstances: 1. It was in secret: 2. It was against the innocent and upright: "They whet their sword; and bend their bow, to shoot their arrows," c.

2. They were obstinate and confirmed in mischief: - 1. "They encourage themselves in an evil thing." 2. "They commune," lay their heads together how to lay snares, c.

3. They are impudent and atheistical: "They say, Who shall see them?"

4. They are indefatigable - they are carried on with an earnest desire to do mischief they invent all crafty waits to circumvent the righteous.

5. All this they do subtly, craftily: "Both the inward thought and heart of them is deep" it is not easy to find out their snares.

III. Now he foretells, 1. Their punishment; and, 2. The event.

1. Their punishment was to be hasty, sharp, deadly, and very just. 1. "God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded." 2. Most just. For they shall "make their own tongues fall upon themselves." By their tongues did they mischief; by their tongues shall they fall.

2. The event shall be double: 1. In general, to all; 2. In particular, to the righteous.

1. Universally: "All that see them shall flee away," - fear, desert, forsake them.

2. All men "shall see and declare the work of the Lord, and consider it as his doing."

The effect it shall have on the righteous. They shall acknowledge God's justice; and farther, -

1. They shall be glad in the Lord - in the judgments he has shown.

2. They shall trust in him - that he will always protect and deliver them.

3. They shall glory - make their boast in God, and tell to all the wonders which in his justice and his mercy he has wrought for them.
