The righteous
The term "righteous" in Hebrew is "צַדִּיק" (tzaddik), which refers to those who are just, virtuous, and in right standing with God. In the context of the Old Testament, righteousness is often associated with adherence to God's laws and commandments. The righteous are those who live in accordance with God's will, and their lives are marked by integrity and moral uprightness. This verse assures that those who are righteous will ultimately find joy and vindication in God's justice.

will rejoice
The Hebrew word for "rejoice" is "שָׂמַח" (samach), which conveys a deep, exuberant joy and gladness. This joy is not merely an emotional response but a profound sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that comes from experiencing God's deliverance and justice. The righteous rejoice because they see God's hand at work, bringing about justice and righteousness in the world.

in the LORD
The phrase "in the LORD" emphasizes the source of the righteous person's joy. The Hebrew name for God used here is "YHWH" (Yahweh), the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. The righteous find their joy not in their circumstances but in their relationship with Yahweh, who is their protector, provider, and deliverer.

and take refuge in Him
The concept of taking refuge is expressed by the Hebrew word "חָסָה" (chasah), which means to seek shelter or protection. In ancient times, cities of refuge provided safety for those in danger. Spiritually, taking refuge in God implies trusting in His protection and care, especially in times of trouble or persecution. The righteous find security and peace in God's presence, knowing that He is their stronghold and defender.

All the upright in heart
The phrase "upright in heart" refers to those whose inner being is aligned with God's will. The Hebrew word for "upright" is "יָשָׁר" (yashar), meaning straight or level. It denotes moral integrity and sincerity. The heart, in Hebrew thought, represents the center of one's emotions, thoughts, and will. Thus, the upright in heart are those who are sincere and genuine in their devotion to God.

will exult
The word "exult" is translated from the Hebrew "הָלַל" (halal), which means to boast or celebrate. This term is often used in the context of praising God. The upright in heart will exult because they witness God's righteous acts and His faithfulness to His people. Their exultation is a response to God's goodness and the fulfillment of His promises, leading them to praise and glorify Him with great enthusiasm and joy.

(10) Shall glory.--Or, perhaps, shall shine forth clear, i.e., shall have their cause acknowledged just. The LXX. and Vulg. seem to have understood it so: "shall be praised."

Verse 10. - The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him. The righteous, delivered from their imminent peril, naturally "rejoice in the Lord," i.e. rejoice in God's goodness to them, and feel their confidence in him increased. And all the upright in heart shall glory (comp. Psalm 32:11; Psalm 58:11). A thrill of joy passes through the whole of God's people, whether they were involved in the danger escaped or not.
