“The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”
He will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing—the repetition of God's emotional joy intensifies the reversal. The characterization of God as joyfully singing suggests a cosmos transformed by judgment and restoration; even God celebrates the redemption of the remnant. This verse represents Scripture's most intimate portrait of God's delight in His people.
