Joy in God, Not Victory
David, as the king, declares his joy will be "in God," not merely in the defeat of his enemies. Scholars like Spurgeon and Calvin highlight that this points to a higher source of rejoicing: God's character, justice, and faithfulness. This serves as a model for believers, whose ultimate joy should be found in God Himself, not just in favorable outcomes.
