I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Joy in a Personal God

The verse expresses a profound, personal joy. Commentators note the shift from rejoicing 'in the Lord' to being joyful 'in my God.' This highlights a deep, possessive relationship. The joy isn't just for blessings received, but in God Himself—His character, His faithfulness, and the personal relationship believers have with Him through Christ.
