The Hebrew word for "glad" is "שָׂמַח" (samach), which conveys a deep, abiding joy that is rooted in the soul. This joy is not dependent on external circumstances but is a response to God's "loving devotion." The term "loving devotion" is translated from the Hebrew word "חֶסֶד" (chesed), which is often rendered as "steadfast love" or "mercy." It signifies God's covenantal love, a loyal and faithful love that is unwavering and eternal. This love is a central theme throughout the Old Testament, reflecting God's enduring commitment to His people. because You have seen my affliction You have known the distress of my soul Parallel Commentaries ...
