In the Old Testament context, this would primarily refer to the Israelites, God's chosen people. The call to "exult in glory" suggests a celebration of God's presence and favor. This phrase can be connected to the idea of glorifying God, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/60.htm">Isaiah 60:1</a>, where the glory of the Lord rises upon His people. The concept of glory in the Bible often signifies God's majestic presence and the honor bestowed upon His people. The saints' exultation is a response to God's deliverance and blessings, reflecting a life lived in acknowledgment of His sovereignty and grace.<p><b>let them shout for joy upon their beds.</b><br>The image of shouting for joy "upon their beds" is significant. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the bed was not only a place of rest but also a symbol of personal space and security. To shout for joy upon one's bed implies a deep, personal, and intimate expression of joy and gratitude. This phrase suggests that the joy of the saints is not confined to public worship but extends into their private lives. It echoes the sentiment found in <a href="/psalms/63-6.htm">Psalm 63:6</a>, where the psalmist meditates on God during the night. The bed, a place of vulnerability and rest, becomes a place of worship and celebration. This joy is rooted in the assurance of God's protection and the peace that comes from His presence, reminiscent of the peace Jesus offers in <a href="/john/14-27.htm">John 14:27</a>. The call to rejoice even in private spaces underscores the pervasive and transformative nature of God's joy in the lives of His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/saints.htm">Saints</a></b><br>Refers to the faithful followers of God, often seen as those who are set apart for His purposes.
