I will be happy and rejoice in your faithfulness, because you notice my pain and you are aware of how distressed I am.
The psalmist tells us that he “will be happy and rejoice in [the Lords’] faithfulness.” Then he supplies the two-fold reason:
(1) “because you notice my pain” and
(2) “you are aware of how distressed I am.”
“The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love” (Psalm 147:11 NIV).
