David prays for audience2. He reproves and exhorts his enemies 6. Man's happiness is in God's favor You have filled my heart with more joy This phrase emphasizes the source of true joy as being divine rather than material. In biblical context, joy is often associated with God's presence and blessings (Psalm 16:11). The heart, in Hebrew thought, represents the center of emotions and will, indicating a deep, internalized joy. This joy surpasses any earthly pleasure, reflecting the peace and contentment found in a relationship with God (Philippians 4:7). than when grain and new wine abound. Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points True Joy Comes from GodThe joy that God provides surpasses any material wealth or abundance. This joy is rooted in a relationship with Him and is not dependent on external circumstances. Contentment in God's Provision Like David, believers are encouraged to find contentment and joy in God's presence and provision, even when material blessings are lacking. Spiritual Abundance Over Material Wealth The psalm contrasts spiritual joy with physical abundance, teaching that spiritual fulfillment is of greater value than material prosperity. Trust in God's Faithfulness David's joy is a testament to his trust in God's faithfulness. Believers are called to trust in God's promises and His ability to provide joy and peace.(7) Thou hast.--Either "Thou hast put a gladness in my heart more than when their corn and new wine are much," or, "More than when one has much corn," &c. The expression is one of pregnant brevity for, "A gladness greater than that when corn and wine are plentiful."Verse 7. - Thou hast put gladness in my heart. David is an example to the de-spending ones. Notwithstanding his sufferings and calamities, God has looked on him, and so "put gladness in his heart" - a gladness which far exceeds that of his adversaries. Though they are in prosperity, and have their corn and wine increased, and enjoy all the "outward material blessings promised to Israel - the wheat and the grape - for a supply of which he is indebted to the generosity of friends" (Kay), yet he would not change places with them. The spiritual joy which fills his own heart is preferable to any amount of material comforts and pleasures. Parallel Commentaries ...
