EXPOSITION.
Joy is the privilege of the believer. When sinners are
destroyed our rejoicing shall be full. They laugh first and weep
ever after; we weep now, but shall rejoice eternally. When they
howl we shall _shout_, and as they must groan for ever, so shall
we _ever shout_ for joy. This holy bliss of ours has a firm
foundation, for O Lord, we are _joyful in thee_. The eternal God
is the well-spring of our bliss. We love God, and therefore we
delight in him. Our heart is at ease in our God. We fare
sumptuously every day because we feed on him. We have music in
the house, music in the heart, and music in heaven, for the Lord
Jehovah is our strength and our song; he also is become our
salvation.
