In ancient Israel, the name of God was revered and considered holy, as seen in the commandment not to take the Lord's name in vain (<a href="/exodus/20-7.htm">Exodus 20:7</a>). The continuous rejoicing "all day long" suggests a life of perpetual worship and gratitude, reflecting the joy found in a relationship with God. This joy is not dependent on circumstances but is rooted in the eternal nature of God. The idea of rejoicing in God's name is echoed in <a href="/philippians/4-4.htm">Philippians 4:4</a>, where believers are encouraged to "rejoice in the Lord always."<p><b>and in Your righteousness they exult</b><br>The term "righteousness" refers to God's moral perfection and justice. In the Old Testament, God's righteousness is often associated with His faithfulness to His covenant promises. The exultation in God's righteousness indicates a deep appreciation for His just and holy nature. This righteousness is not only a standard for human conduct but also a source of salvation, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>, where the prophet speaks of being clothed in the garments of salvation and covered with the robe of righteousness. The ultimate fulfillment of God's righteousness is found in Jesus Christ, who embodies divine righteousness and offers it to believers through faith (<a href="/romans/3-22.htm">Romans 3:22</a>). The exultation in God's righteousness is a response to His redemptive work and the assurance of His just rule.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ethan_the_ezrahite.htm">Ethan the Ezrahite</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/89.htm">Psalm 89</a>, Ethan was a wise man during the time of King Solomon.
