Psalms 64:10 Summary
[This verse is saying that people who love and follow God should be happy and celebrate because they are safe with Him. It's like having a strong, safe place to hide, as described in Psalms 32:7, where it says 'You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.' We can trust in God and be happy because He is our protector and guide. By putting our faith in Him, we can live with joy and confidence, knowing that He is always with us, as promised in Matthew 28:20, where it says 'I am with you always, to the very end of the age.']

The righteous are those who have put their faith in God and are living according to His will, as described in Psalms 1:1-3, where the righteous are blessed and prosperous because they delight in the law of the Lord.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 64:10
The righteous shall be glad in the Lord,.... They rejoice at the vengeance executed on the wicked; but then their joy centres in the Lord: it is not at the ruin of the wicked, simply considered, but
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 64:10
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. -When all the plot is ripe, then ensues sudden destruction of the wicked plotters.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 64:10
In the Lord; or, for the Lord, i.e. not out of malice or ill will to the persons of their enemies, but for the honour of God, which by this means is fully vindicated and greatly advanced. Shall glory, to wit, in God, as their sure Rock and all-sufficient Portion.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 64:10
Psalms 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.Ver. 10. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord] Not myself only, but all the saints shall be comforted, confirmed, and occasioned to make their boast in God with a holy gloriation, Inde arripient sanctae cuiusdam iactantiae argumentum (Beza).
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 64:10
(10) Shall glory.—Or, perhaps, shall shine forth clear, i.e., shall have their cause acknowledged just. The LXX. and Vulg. seem to have understood it so: “shall be praised.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 64:10
Verse 10. The righteous shall be glad] They shall see that God does not abandon his followers to the malice of bad men. The rod of the wicked may come into the heritage of the just; but there it shall not rest. Calmet thinks that this is a prediction of the destruction of the Chaldeans, in consequence of which the Jewish people became highly respected by all the surrounding nations. But it may be applied more generally to the enmity of the wicked against the righteous, and how God counterworks their devices, and vindicates and supports his own followers. ANALYSIS OF THE SIXTY-FOURTH PSALM I. The psalmist, in danger, commends his cause to God, Psalms 64:1-2. II. Complains of his enemies, who are described by their inward devices, and outward conduct, Psalms 64:3-6. III.
He foretells their ruin, and the consequences, Psalms 64:7-10. I. 1. He prays in general: "Hear my voice." 2. Then in special, that his life may be safe: "Hide me from the secret counsel," c., Psalms 64:2. He describes his enemies, generally: - 1. They were wicked men. 2. They were workers of iniquity. 3. They worked secret counsels against him. 4. They acted according to their counsels. II.
After this general character, he particularly describes their villany. 1. They were calumniators no sword sharper than their tongue, no arrow swifter than their accusations. They were diligent and active to wound his credit; and the evil of their conduct was aggravated by two circumstances: 1. It was in secret: 2. It was against the innocent and upright: "They whet their sword; and bend their bow, to shoot their arrows," c. 2. They were obstinate and confirmed in mischief: - 1. "They encourage themselves in an evil thing." 2. "They commune," lay their heads together how to lay snares, c. 3. They are impudent and atheistical: "They say, Who shall see them?" 4. They are indefatigable - they are carried on with an earnest desire to do mischief they invent all crafty waits to circumvent the righteous. 5.
All this they do subtly, craftily: "Both the inward thought and heart of them is deep" it is not easy to find out their snares. III. Now he foretells, 1. Their punishment; and, 2. The event. 1. Their punishment was to be hasty, sharp, deadly, and very just. 1. "God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded." 2. Most just. For they shall "make their own tongues fall upon themselves." By their tongues did they mischief; by their tongues shall they fall. 2. The event shall be double: 1.
In general, to all; 2. In particular, to the righteous. 1. Universally: "All that see them shall flee away," - fear, desert, forsake them. 2. All men "shall see and declare the work of the Lord, and consider it as his doing." The effect it shall have on the righteous. They shall acknowledge God's justice; and farther, - 1. They shall be glad in the Lord - in the judgments he has shown. 2.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 64:10
10. For the righteous and the upright in heart—the Psalmist and those whom he represents—the judgement is an occasion of joy, supplying a fresh proof that Jehovah governs the world righteously and that in Him they have a sure refuge. Cp. Psalms 5:11; Psalms 52:6 ff; Psalms 58:10 f; Psalms 63:11. and shall trust in him] Rather, take refuge in him (Psalms 57:1; Psalms 61:4). the upright in heart] Cp. Psalms 11:2, already quoted as a parallel to Psalms 64:4.
