Commentary
meek--rather, the afflicted godly: the idea is, virtuous suffering (Isa 61:1; Psa 25:9; Psa 37:11) [BARNES]. poor among men--that is, the poorest of men, namely, the pious poor. rejoice--when they see their oppressors punished (Isa 29:20-21), and Jehovah exhibited as their protector and rewarder (Isa 29:22-24; Isa 41:17; Jam 2:5).
