Psalm 35
1. David prays for his own safety, and his enemies' confusion
11. He complains of their wrongful dealing
22. Thereby he incites God against them














Then my soul
The phrase "my soul" in Hebrew is "נַפְשִׁי" (nafshi), which refers to the innermost being or life essence of a person. In the biblical context, the soul is often seen as the seat of emotions and desires. The psalmist, David, is expressing a deep, personal response that comes from the core of his being. This highlights the intimate relationship between the believer and God, where the soul's response is not just intellectual but deeply emotional and spiritual.

will rejoice
The Hebrew word for "rejoice" is "יָגִיל" (yagil), which conveys a sense of exultation and gladness. This is not a passive feeling but an active expression of joy. In the context of Psalm 35, David anticipates a future moment of deliverance and vindication from his enemies, which will lead to an outpouring of joy. This rejoicing is rooted in faith and trust in God's justice and salvation.

in the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the covenant name of God. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. David's joy is specifically directed towards the LORD, emphasizing that true joy and fulfillment are found in a relationship with God. It reflects a deep trust in God's character and His ability to save and protect His people.

and exult
The word "exult" in Hebrew is "תָּגֵל" (tagel), which is closely related to "rejoice" but often implies a more exuberant, triumphant joy. This suggests a public and visible expression of joy, perhaps in worship or testimony. The psalmist's exultation is a response to God's intervention and deliverance, serving as a witness to others of God's power and faithfulness.

in His salvation
The Hebrew word for "salvation" is "יְשׁוּעָתוֹ" (yeshuato), which means deliverance or rescue. In the Old Testament, salvation often refers to God's intervention in the lives of His people, whether from physical danger, enemies, or sin. For David, God's salvation is both a present reality and a future hope. This salvation is not just a personal experience but part of God's redemptive plan for His people. The psalmist's joy and exultation are rooted in the assurance of God's saving power, which is ultimately fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ, the ultimate Savior.

Verse 9. - And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord. A sudden transition from imprecatory prayer to thanksgiving, or rather, to the promise of it - "My soul shall be joyful;" i.e. it shall be so when my prayers have been granted. It shall rejoice in his salvation. "Salvation" here is, no doubt, especially, deliverance from the immediate danger, but, perhaps, even here, not only that (see the comment on ver. 3).
