Ps 5:11 But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice,
Let them ever sing for joy;
Because You cover and shelter them,
Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.


I appreciate this prayer in Psalm 5 that we would sing for joy, and that we would be joyful and exult in the Lord. Consider the person who prays to win the lottery and then it turns out to be nothing but a grief and a curse? I read of this one boxer, he had a fender bender with his rolls royce and then gave the keys to an onlooker saying this the car had given him nothing but grief. Instead of praying for the money or car they should have prayed for joy.

Then, the prayer in Psalm 5 is answered in Psalm 8

What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?
5*Yet You have made him a little lower than [b]God,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6*You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,


Jesus being made Lord of all and heir of all lets those that love Him be joyful and exultant. This is truly what it means to be blessed (if you are the one that doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, not a great day for the wicked or those that followed their advice).
