Joy in Justice, Not Misery
Commentators explain that the gladness of the righteous is not a cruel delight in suffering. Instead, it's joy that God's justice prevails, similar to the relief felt when a dangerous criminal is brought to justice. The focus is on the triumph of righteousness and the vindication of God's holy character, not on the misery of fellow human beings.
