Study note

Psalm 5:11

  • A blessing rests on all who take refuge in God (see Psalm 18:30).

  • Joy and praise go well together. The godly rejoice when they see evidence of God’s rescue. They sing joyful praises as a new song (see Psalm 33:3).

    When the Lord brings peace to the world, defeats evil, and rewards good people, they will have lasting joy (Psalms 9:2–4; 53:6; 90:14–15; 118:24).

  • The children of God, who find refuge in him, love his name. To love his name is to love his very character.
