A Godly View of Victory
Commentators clarify that seeing one's 'desire' on enemies is not about malicious glee. Rather, it's about rejoicing in God's justice and the confirmation of one's own deliverance. Albert Barnes compares it to being thankful for freedom without taking sinful pleasure in the downfall of those who opposed it. The focus is on God's righteous act of salvation, not personal revenge.
