This joy is not dependent on circumstances but on the character and promises of God. The righteous, those who live in accordance with God's will, find their ultimate joy in Him. This echoes themes found throughout the Psalms, such as in <a href="/psalms/32-11.htm">Psalm 32:11</a>, where the righteous are called to be glad in the LORD. The concept of rejoicing in God is also seen in the New Testament, such as in <a href="/philippians/4-4.htm">Philippians 4:4</a>, where believers are encouraged to rejoice in the Lord always.<p><b>and take refuge in Him;</b><br>Taking refuge in the LORD implies trust and reliance on God's protection and provision. In ancient times, cities of refuge provided safety for those in danger, and this imagery is used throughout the Psalms to describe God's protective nature. <a href="/psalms/46.htm">Psalm 46:1</a> describes God as a refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. This phrase also connects to the idea of God as a fortress, a common metaphor in the Psalms, indicating a place of safety and security. The righteous find their security not in worldly power or wealth but in the steadfastness of God.<p><b>let all the upright in heart exult.</b><br>The upright in heart refers to those who are sincere and honest in their relationship with God. This phrase highlights the importance of inner integrity and purity, which are valued throughout Scripture. The call to exult, or to express great joy, is a response to God's faithfulness and justice. This mirrors the beatitudes in <a href="/matthew/5.htm">Matthew 5</a>, where the pure in heart are blessed. The upright in heart are those who align their lives with God's truth, and their exultation is a testament to the joy that comes from living in harmony with God's will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_righteous.htm">The Righteous</a></b><br>Refers to those who live in accordance with God's will and commandments.
