Joy's True Source
Commentators unanimously emphasize that the psalmist's joy is not found in his circumstances, accomplishments, or possessions, but in God Himself. John Calvin contrasts this with joy in oneself, while Matthew Henry notes that our joy must be in the Giver, not just the gift. True, unshakable gladness has its source in God's character and favor alone.
