that I may see
The phrase "that I may see" suggests a desire for spiritual insight and understanding. In the Hebrew context, the word for "see" often implies more than just physical sight; it encompasses perceiving, understanding, and experiencing. This reflects a deep yearning to witness God's work and glory. The psalmist's plea is not just for personal benefit but for a revelation of God's power and faithfulness, which is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms.

the prosperity
The term "prosperity" in this context is derived from the Hebrew word "tov," which means good, welfare, or well-being. It is not merely material wealth but encompasses a holistic sense of peace, blessing, and divine favor. The psalmist desires to witness the flourishing and well-being of God's people, which is a testament to God's covenantal faithfulness and blessings upon Israel.

of Your chosen ones
"Your chosen ones" refers to the people of Israel, whom God selected as His special possession. This phrase underscores the covenant relationship between God and Israel, highlighting themes of election and divine favor. The chosen ones are recipients of God's promises and blessings, and their prosperity is a reflection of God's faithfulness to His covenant.

that I may rejoice
The word "rejoice" conveys a sense of deep, spiritual joy and celebration. In the Hebrew tradition, rejoicing is often associated with worship and gratitude towards God. The psalmist's desire to rejoice is not just personal but communal, as it involves celebrating God's goodness and faithfulness with others.

in the joy
"Joy" here is a profound, spiritual delight that comes from experiencing God's presence and blessings. It is a joy that transcends circumstances and is rooted in the assurance of God's love and faithfulness. This joy is a hallmark of the life of faith, reflecting a heart that is aligned with God's purposes.

of Your nation
"Your nation" refers to Israel, God's covenant people. This phrase emphasizes the collective identity and destiny of Israel as a nation chosen by God. The joy of the nation is tied to their relationship with God and their experience of His blessings and salvation.

and exult
To "exult" is to express triumphant joy and jubilation. It is a response to God's mighty acts and deliverance. The psalmist's desire to exult reflects a heart that is overwhelmed with gratitude and praise for God's intervention and blessings.

with Your inheritance
"Your inheritance" refers to the people of Israel, whom God has claimed as His own. This term underscores the idea of possession and belonging, highlighting the special relationship between God and His people. The inheritance is not just a land or material blessing but the people themselves, who are cherished by God. The psalmist's desire to exult with God's inheritance reflects a longing to be part of the community that experiences and celebrates God's faithfulness and blessings.

(5) The tone of this verse indicates a prospect of a speedy advent of good.; and serves itself to give a probable date to the psalm.

Verse 5. - That I may see the good of thy chosen; or, the good fortune, the prosperity, of thy chosen; i.e. their happiness when they are released from the captivity, and return to their own land (comp. ver. 47). That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation; i.e. "the gladness" that would be theirs when re-established in their own country (see Ezra 3:12; Ezra 6:22). That I may glory with thins inheritance; or, triumph.
