In ancient Israel, cities of refuge were designated places where individuals could seek asylum and protection (<a href="/numbers/35-6.htm">Numbers 35:6-34</a>). Spiritually, God is portrayed as a safe haven for the righteous, offering protection from both physical and spiritual adversaries. The call to rejoice signifies a deep-seated joy that comes from trusting in God's protection and faithfulness. This joy is not dependent on circumstances but is rooted in the assurance of God's presence and care.<p><b>let them ever shout for joy.</b><br>The expression of joy through shouting reflects the exuberant and public nature of worship in ancient Israel. This is seen in various biblical accounts where the people of God express their joy and gratitude through loud praise (<a href="/2_samuel/6-15.htm">2 Samuel 6:15</a>, <a href="/ezra/3-11.htm">Ezra 3:11</a>). The perpetual nature of this joy ("ever") suggests an ongoing, eternal state of happiness that believers experience through their relationship with God. This joy is a foretaste of the eternal joy promised in the presence of God (<a href="/revelation/21-4.htm">Revelation 21:4</a>).<p><b>May You shelter them,</b><br>The imagery of God as a shelter conveys a sense of divine protection and care. In the harsh climate and geography of the ancient Near East, a shelter was essential for survival against the elements. Spiritually, this protection extends to safeguarding the believer from spiritual harm and the attacks of the enemy. This concept is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/91.htm">Psalm 91:1-2</a>, where God is described as a refuge and fortress.<p><b>that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.</b><br>Loving God's name implies a deep reverence and devotion to His character and attributes. In biblical times, a name was more than just an identifier; it represented the essence and reputation of a person. To love God's name is to honor and cherish who He is. This love results in rejoicing, as believers find their ultimate satisfaction and delight in their relationship with God. This joy is a reflection of the intimate and personal relationship that God desires with His people, as seen throughout scripture (<a href="/john/15-9.htm">John 15:9-11</a>).<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/5.htm">Psalm 5</a>, David is expressing his trust and reliance on God amidst adversities.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in the Psalm, God is portrayed as a refuge and protector for those who trust in Him.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_righteous.htm">The Righteous</a></b><br>Those who take refuge in God and love His name, experiencing joy and protection.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/enemies_of_david.htm">Enemies of David</a></b><br>Implicit in the context, these are the adversaries from whom David seeks refuge in God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>While not directly mentioned, it is often the setting for David's psalms and prayers.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/rejoicing_in_refuge.htm">Rejoicing in Refuge</a></b><br>Believers are called to find joy in the security and protection that God provides.
