15 Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: “The LORD’s right hand has done mighty things! 16 The LORD’s right hand is lifted high; the LORD’s right hand has done mighty things!”
The Lord’s people, who are the righteous, were camped around the Tabernacle. They defeated everyone to the Promised Land. When the people went out in the desert, God went before them as a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of smoke by day. Their enemies were afraid of them by reputation. Exodus 15:6 says, “Your right hand, LORD, was majestic in power. Your right hand, LORD, shattered the enemy.” The Lord does great and mighty things when he is at the center your life.

17 I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.
John 3:15 says, “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” In Luke 2:10, the angels announce to the shepherds upon Jesus’ birth “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” When the Lord changes your life, the telling of the change is your testimony about how the Lord saves.

18 The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
Hebrews 12:5b-7 says “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” Proverbs 3:11-12 says, “My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.” Although His discipline can be extremely painful, it is to our benefit and a privilege as it means we are His and are saved.

19 Open for me the gates of the righteous; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter.
The Tabernacle was surrounded by a gate by which the righteous would enter to offer their sacrifices. The High Priest was the only one who was able to go into the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant, Father God Almighty, existed. It was separated by a cloth that was at least 6 inches thick. When Jesus died on the cross, this cloth split and allowed us to directly enter the Holy of Holies and boldly enter the throne of the Most High.

21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.
Isaiah 60:18 says, “No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.”

22 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; 23 the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
The stone the builders rejected which became the cornerstone is the Church built upon our faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 4:11-12 says, “Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.””

24 The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad. 25 LORD, save us! LORD, grant us success!
Accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior allows us to have a relationship with God the Father again. This relationship is our salvation which brings us great joy and eternal life with Him.

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you.

27 The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine on us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.
The horns on the altar represent the mercy seat. The blood of the sacrifices in the Tabernacle was ladled over the mercy seat. Jesus Christ’s blood shed for our sins is the ultimate sacrifice and provides us mercy. 1 Peter 1:3-4a puts it well: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade”

28 You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you.
What other God came down to deliver His own? We exalt the Lord our God for His mercy and love endures forever!
