Berean Study Bible

They rejoice
The Hebrew root for "rejoice" is "gîl," which conveys a sense of exultation and gladness. In the context of ancient Israel, rejoicing was often associated with worship and celebration of God's mighty acts. This joy is not merely an emotional response but a deep-seated expression of faith and trust in God's covenant promises. Historically, the Israelites would have rejoiced in festivals and communal gatherings, celebrating God's deliverance and provision.

in Your name
The "name" of God in Hebrew is "shem," which signifies more than just a label; it represents God's character, authority, and reputation. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a name was deeply tied to one's identity and essence. For the Israelites, God's name was sacred and powerful, encapsulating His attributes such as holiness, righteousness, and faithfulness. Rejoicing in God's name implies a profound acknowledgment and celebration of who God is and His active presence in their lives.

all day long
This phrase emphasizes the continual and perpetual nature of the rejoicing. The Hebrew concept of time here suggests an ongoing, unceasing action. In a historical context, this reflects the Israelites' understanding of their relationship with God as a constant, daily reality, not confined to specific times or places. It underscores the idea that worship and joy in God are to permeate every aspect of life, reflecting a life lived in constant awareness of God's presence and goodness.

they exult
The word "exult" comes from the Hebrew "rûm," which means to lift up or to be high. This term conveys a sense of triumph and victory. In the biblical narrative, exultation is often linked to God's deliverance and the fulfillment of His promises. It suggests a posture of praise and thanksgiving, recognizing God's sovereignty and His acts of salvation. The historical context of Israel's victories and God's interventions would have been a source of exultation for the people.

in Your righteousness
"Righteousness" in Hebrew is "tsedeq," which refers to God's moral integrity, justice, and faithfulness to His covenant. In the biblical context, God's righteousness is a source of hope and assurance for His people. It is His commitment to uphold justice and to act in accordance with His character. For the Israelites, God's righteousness was a foundation for their trust and confidence, knowing that He would act rightly on their behalf. This phrase highlights the reason for their exultation: God's unwavering commitment to His promises and His just nature.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 16 - In thy Name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. The "Name" and the "righteousness" of God form the glory of the Church, and are a perpetual source of rejoicing to her.
