What does Psalms 32:11 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
11. The righteous and upright, or those conforming to the divine teaching for securing the divine blessing, may well rejoice with shouting.

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 11 Be glad - and rejoice - Let every righteous soul rejoice and glory, but let it be in the Lord. Man was made for happiness, but his happiness must be founded on holiness: and holiness, as it comes from God, must be retained by continual union with him. Probably this verse belongs to the next Psalm, and was originally its first verse.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalms 32:8-11

God teaches by his word, and guides with the secret intimations of his will. David gives a word of caution to sinners. The reason for this caution is, that the way of sin will certainly end in sorrow. Here is a word of comfort to saints. They may see that a life of communion with God is far the most pleasant and comfortable. Let us rejoice, O Lord Jesus, in thee, and in thy salvation; so shall we rejoice indeed.
