For our hearts rejoice in Him
The phrase "our hearts rejoice" speaks to the deep, inner joy that believers experience. The Hebrew word for "rejoice" is "שָׂמַח" (samach), which conveys a sense of gladness and delight. This joy is not superficial or fleeting but is rooted in the heart, the center of one's being. In biblical times, the heart was considered the seat of emotions, thoughts, and will. The joy mentioned here is a profound, spiritual joy that comes from a relationship with God. The phrase "in Him" emphasizes that this joy is not based on external circumstances but is found in God Himself. This reflects a deep, personal connection with the Creator, who is the source of true joy.

since we trust
The word "trust" is translated from the Hebrew "בָּטַח" (batach), which means to have confidence or to rely upon. Trust in the biblical sense is not merely intellectual assent but involves a wholehearted reliance on God. It is an active, living faith that affects every aspect of life. Trusting in God implies a surrender of one's own understanding and a commitment to follow His ways. Historically, the Israelites were called to trust in God amidst various challenges, from wandering in the desert to facing powerful enemies. This trust is a response to God's faithfulness and His proven character throughout history.

in His holy name
The "holy name" of God refers to His character and attributes. In Hebrew, the word for "holy" is "קָדוֹשׁ" (qadosh), which means set apart, sacred, or pure. God's name represents His essence and His reputation. In ancient Israel, names were significant and often reflected the nature or destiny of a person. God's name is holy because He is holy, and it is a reminder of His otherness and purity. Trusting in His holy name means relying on His unchanging nature and His promises. Throughout Scripture, God's name is associated with His power, presence, and provision. It is a source of comfort and strength for believers, who can call upon His name in times of need. The holiness of God's name also calls believers to live lives that reflect His character, set apart for His purposes.

Verse 21. - For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy Name (comp. Psalm 13:5, where the sentiment is the same). Trust in God secures his help, and this brings the deliverance at which the heart rejoices.
