Glory in His holy name
The word "glory" in Hebrew is "halal," which means to boast, celebrate, or shine. This phrase calls believers to take pride and find joy in the holiness and sanctity of God's name. The "holy name" refers to the unique and set-apart nature of God, emphasizing His purity, righteousness, and divine authority. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a name was more than just a label; it represented the character and essence of a person. Thus, to glory in God's holy name is to recognize and celebrate His divine attributes and His covenantal faithfulness to His people. This act of glorifying God is a form of worship that acknowledges His supremacy and invites His presence into the lives of the faithful.

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice
The "hearts" in Hebrew thought are the center of one's being, encompassing mind, will, and emotions. This phrase encourages an internal, heartfelt response to God's presence and works. "Those who seek the LORD" refers to individuals who earnestly pursue a relationship with God, desiring to know Him more deeply and live according to His will. Seeking the LORD is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, often associated with prayer, worship, and obedience. The call to "rejoice" is an invitation to experience profound joy and satisfaction in the pursuit of God. This joy is not dependent on external circumstances but is rooted in the assurance of God's love, faithfulness, and the hope of His promises. Historically, this verse is part of a psalm of thanksgiving delivered by David when the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Jerusalem, symbolizing God's presence among His people and prompting a communal celebration of His goodness and mercy.

(10) That seek the Lord.--Comp. 1Chronicles 13:3; 1Chronicles 15:13, where a synonymous term is used. Both occur in 1Chronicles 16:11.
