Glory in His holy name;
This phrase calls believers to take pride and find joy in the name of the Lord, which is a reflection of His character and attributes. In biblical times, a name was more than just an identifier; it represented the essence and reputation of a person. God's name is holy, set apart, and worthy of reverence. The call to glory in His name is an invitation to worship and honor God for who He is. This aligns with the Third Commandment, which instructs not to take the Lord's name in vain, emphasizing the sacredness of His name. The holiness of God's name is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, seen in passages like Isaiah 6:3, where the seraphim proclaim, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts."

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
This part of the verse encourages those who actively pursue a relationship with God to find joy. Seeking the Lord implies a diligent and earnest effort to know Him and His will, as seen in Jeremiah 29:13, "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." The promise of joy for seekers is a consistent biblical theme, suggesting that true fulfillment and happiness are found in God alone. This joy is not dependent on circumstances but is a deep, abiding sense of peace and contentment that comes from being in communion with the Creator. The call to rejoice is also a reminder of the joy that comes from salvation and the hope of eternal life, as seen in the New Testament, where joy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22).

Teaching Points
Glory in His Name
The Hebrew word for "glory" (kavod) implies giving weight or honor. As believers, we are called to give God the highest honor and reverence.

The Joy of Seeking God
Seeking God is not a burdensome task but a source of joy. The Hebrew word for "rejoice" (samach) suggests a deep, abiding joy that comes from being in God's presence.

The Holiness of God's Name
God's name is holy, set apart, and deserving of our utmost respect. In our daily lives, we should reflect on the holiness of God and strive to live in a way that honors His name.

Active Pursuit of God
Seeking the LORD is an active pursuit. It involves prayer, reading Scripture, and living in obedience to His commands. This active seeking leads to a deeper relationship with God and greater joy.Verse 3. - Glory ye in his holy Name (comp. Psalm 34:2, "My soul shall glory in the Lord'). As worldly men glory in their strength and riches, so the saints of God glory in God. Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord (comp. Psalm 33:21).
