What Does Psalms 35:27 Mean?
In contrast to the enemies' false rejoicing, the psalmist now prays for those who 'favour my righteous cause' to shout for joy. This is legitimate gladness based on truth. The continuous praise 'Let the LORD be magnified' becomes the refrain of all who witness God's vindication.
The phrase 'which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant' affirms that God delights in the psalmist's well-being. This is not merely about the psalmist but about God's character—His joy in justice and His care for those who trust Him. All who see God's vindication will praise Him.
