Contextual Overview

¹² What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord , whose people he has chosen as his inheritance. ¹³ The Lord looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. ¹⁴ From his throne he observes all who live on the earth. ¹⁵ He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do. ¹⁶ The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. ¹⁷ Don't count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you. ¹⁸ But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. ¹⁹ He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. ²⁰ We put our hope in the Lord .

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.
