Glory in His holy name
The phrase "Glory in His holy name" invites believers to take pride and find joy in the sanctity and majesty of God's name. The Hebrew word for "glory" here is "halal," which means to boast or to praise. This suggests an active, vocal celebration of God's character and deeds. The "holy name" refers to the unique and sacred identity of God, set apart from all else. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and authority of a person. Thus, to glory in God's name is to recognize and proclaim His divine attributes and His covenantal faithfulness to His people.

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice
The phrase "let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice" emphasizes the inner joy and satisfaction that comes from earnestly pursuing a relationship with God. The Hebrew word for "seek" is "darash," which implies a diligent and intentional pursuit. This is not a casual or occasional seeking but a committed and ongoing endeavor. The "hearts" refer to the innermost being of a person, encompassing their emotions, will, and intellect. The promise of "rejoice" is a profound assurance that those who earnestly seek God will find true joy and fulfillment. Historically, this reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where seeking God was synonymous with seeking His presence, guidance, and blessing. In a broader scriptural context, this joy is a fruit of the Spirit, a deep-seated gladness that transcends circumstances and is rooted in the assurance of God's love and faithfulness.

Verse 3. - Glory ye in his holy Name (comp. Psalm 34:2, "My soul shall glory in the Lord'). As worldly men glory in their strength and riches, so the saints of God glory in God. Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord (comp. Psalm 33:21).
