What Does Psalms 64:10 Mean?
The righteous respond to God's judgment with gladness. This is not vindictive joy but the relief and delight that comes from seeing justice done and evil restrained. Their gladness centers on the LORD—their trust in him has been vindicated by his action.
The upright in heart glory—they take confidence and strength from God's faithfulness.
