Joy's True Foundation
Commentators stress that the joy in this verse is not based on circumstances but is found in God himself. It flows from trusting in Him, loving His character (His "name"), and delighting in His very nature. This joy, which can be expressed with loud shouts, is a defining characteristic of those who take refuge in the Lord, distinct from the fleeting happiness the world offers.
