Psalms 5:11

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Ver. 11. But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice] Joy is the just man's portion, et contra, Hosea 9:1 Isaiah 65:13,14; and, according to the measure of his faith, so is his joy, 1 Peter 1:8 .

Let them ever shout] Or, shrill out, set up their note, as a peacock doth, which hath his name in Hebrew from this root.

Because thou defendest them] Heb. Thou over coverest them with thy sure defence, for upon all the glory shall be a defence. "And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain," Isaiah 4:5,6, Velut piis tabernaculum (R. David). The ram skins covering the ark from the violence of wind and weather figured out Christ's protecting his people.

Let them also that love thy name] As all the virgins do who have smelt Christ's name as an ointment poured out, Song of Solomon 1:3; See Trapp on " Son 1:3 "

Be joyful in thee] Heb. Exult, and leap for joy, as if they were dancing levaltos. Thus Dr Taylor, the martyr, fetched a frisk and danced when he was near unto the place where he should be burnt. Rabbi Zaddi Ben Levi repeated this verse when he was at the point of death (Mid. Tillin, in Psa 5:1-12). Another, that in Psalms 32:6, "For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee." A third, that in Psalms 84:10, "One day in thy courts is better," &c. A fourth, that in Psalms 31:19, "O how great is thy goodness," &c.
