The soul, representing the innermost being, finds joy in the LORD, indicating a relationship that is both intimate and reliant on divine intervention. In the context of <a href="/psalms/35.htm">Psalm 35</a>, David is seeking deliverance from his enemies, and this rejoicing is a response to anticipated victory. The concept of rejoicing in the LORD is echoed throughout the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/33-21.htm">Psalm 33:21</a>) and is a common theme in the Old Testament, where joy is often linked to God's acts of salvation and faithfulness. This joy is not merely emotional but is rooted in the recognition of God's sovereignty and goodness.<p><b>and exult in His salvation.</b><br>Exultation here implies a triumphant and exuberant expression of joy. Salvation in the Old Testament context often refers to deliverance from physical danger or enemies, as seen in the life of David. However, it also points to a broader spiritual salvation that is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ. The salvation mentioned here can be seen as a type of the ultimate salvation offered through Christ, who delivers believers from sin and eternal separation from God. This phrase connects to other scriptures that speak of God's saving power, such as <a href="/isaiah/12-2.htm">Isaiah 12:2</a>, and foreshadows the New Testament's emphasis on salvation through faith in Christ (e.g., <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>). The exultation in salvation is a theme that resonates with the Christian experience of joy in the assurance of eternal life.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/35.htm">Psalm 35</a>, David is expressing his trust and joy in the Lord's deliverance.
