“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”
The psalmist desires that those who desire his vindication may shout for joy and say continually 'Great is the LORD, who delights in the prosperity of his servant.' The shift from addresses to God and the enemies to address the community suggests that the psalmist's vindication has broader significance for the faithful community. The affirmation that God 'delights in the prosperity of his servant' establishes that vindication and blessing are consistent with God's character and purposes. The verse invites the assembly to recognize that God's intervention on behalf of the persecuted reflects God's fundamental commitment to justice.
