Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. The Psalm began with blessedness, and it ends with holy gladness. It was needful to go down into the Valley of Humiliation for a while, but the Lord brought the psalmist up to the mountain top again, so that he felt that he must have others to join him in his gladsome song: “Be glad in the Lord,...
