Joy in His Mercy, Not Your Situation
The psalmist makes a conscious choice to rejoice, not because his problems are solved, but because of God's "lovingkindness." Commentators note this is an act of faith, a burst of thanksgiving even in the midst of prayer. This joy is rooted in the unchanging character and mercy of God, which provides a foundation for hope regardless of present circumstances.
