Commentaries on Psalms 32:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Be glad - and rejoice - Let every righteous soul rejoice and glory, but let it be in the Lord.

The reason for this caution is, that the way of sin will certainly end in sorrow. Here is a word of comfort to saints. They may see that a life of communion with God is far the most pleasant and comfortable. Let us rejoice, O Lord Jesus, in thee, and in thy salvation; so shall we rejoice indeed.Read the comment
