“Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:”
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, — the heart's gladness (chara, joy), the tongue's joy (agalliao, exultation), and bodily rest in hope (elpis, hope as confident expectation) describe the resurrection's fruit: not merely spiritual survival but embodied vindication. The psalmist's joy is the joy of resurrection, of divine promise kept, of death overcome.
