The Lord Your God in Your Midst – Zephaniah 3v17

The Lord your God in your midst

The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

– Zephaniah 3:17

He will rejoice over thee with joy, will not only be well pleased with thee, upon thy repentance and reformation, and take thee into favour, but will take a complacency in thee, as the bridegroom does in his bride, or the bride in her ornaments, Isa. 62:3-5 . The conversion of sinners and the consolation of saints are the joy of angels, for they are the joy of God him-self. The church should be the joy of the whole earth (Ps. 48:2 ), for it is the joy of the whole heaven. He will rest in his love, will be silent in his love, so the word is. “I will not rebuke thee as I have done, for thy sins; I will acquiesce in thee, and in my relation to thee.’’ I know not where there is the like expression of Christ’s love to his church, unless in that song of songs, Cant. 4:9 , Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse, with one of thy eyes. O the condescensions of divine grace! The great God not only loves his saints, but he loves to love them, is pleased that he has pitched upon these objects of his love. He will joy over them with singing. He that is grieved for the sin of sinners rejoices in the graces and services of the saints, and is ready to express that joy by singing over them. The Lord takes plea-sure in those that fear him, and in them Jesus Christ will shortly be glorified and admired.IV. God will comfort Zion’s mourners, who sympathize with her in her griefs, and will wipe away their tears.” – Matthew Henry Commentary of the Whole Bible

Psalm 103:3 As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

Psalm 103:3 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.

As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him. – Psalm 103:13

The Load pitieth. Though it be commonly said, “It is better to be envied, than pitied;” yet here it is not so: but it is a far happier thing to be pitied of God, than to be envied of men. – Sir R. Baker.

As a father pitieth his children. The father pitieth his children that are weak in knowledge, and instructs them; pities them when they are froward, and bears with them; pities them when they are sick, and comforts them; when they are fallen, and helps them up again; when they have offended, and upon their submission, forgives them; when they are wronged, and rights them. Thus “the Lord pitieth them that fear him.” – Matthew Henry.
