Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
The righteous also shall see, and fear - The thing shall be done in the sight of the saints; they shall see God' s judgments on the workers of iniquity; and they shall fear a God so holy and just, and feel the necessity of being doubly on their guard lest they fall into the same condemnation. But instead of veyirau , "and they shall fear," three of Kennicott' s and De Rossi' s MSS., with the Syriac, have veyismachu , "and shall rejoice;" and, from the following words, "and shall laugh at him," this appears to be the true reading, for laughing may be either the consequence or accompaniment of rejoicing.
