I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion,
David rejoices in God's loving devotion, because the LORD has seen his affliction and known his soul's distress.
This verse shifts from plea to grateful recognition of divine attention.
1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 2Incline Your ear to me; 3For You are my rock and my fortress; 4You free me from the net laid out for me, 5Into Your hands I commit my spirit; 6I hate those who cling to worthless idols, 7I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, 8You have not delivered me to the enemy; 9Be merciful to me, O LORD, 10For my life is consumed with grief 11Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, 12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. 13For I hear the slander of many; 14But I trust in You, O LORD; 15My times are in Your hands; 16Make Your face shine on Your servant; 17O LORD, let me not be ashamed, 18May lying lips be silenced — 19How great is Your goodness 20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence 21Blessed be the LORD, 22In my alarm I said, 23Love the LORD, all His saints. 24Be strong and courageous,
