The Source of True Happiness
Commentators emphasize that Israel's unique status and joy stem directly from their relationship with God. John Calvin notes this is the 'only true happiness,' as God Himself is the source of their salvation. For believers today, this verse affirms that our ultimate security and happiness are found not in circumstances, but in being 'a people saved by the Lord.'
