“My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.”
The psalmist declares that his soul will glory in the LORD and the humble will hear and be glad. The verb "glory" suggests taking pride and delight in something external to oneself. The reference to the humble suggests that this proclamation addresses particularly those who lack earthly power and status. The promise that the humble "will hear and be glad" suggests that the psalmist's testimony becomes occasion for joy and encouragement. The verse demonstrates that personal praise overflows into blessing for others.
