"For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation." Don't the people you love the most--spouse, children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, parents, or friends--make you happy? It is your love for them that makes you happy. When you love someone, you naturally want to give gifts to your beloved--maybe some new clothes--and show off your beloved to everyone. According to this verse, God is the same way toward human beings. Because God loves us, we make Him happy. God takes pleasure in His people, particularly the humble ones. And because we are God's beloved, He wants to give us gifts--specifically, a new set of clothes. He wants to attire His loved ones with His salvation and then show off His beloved to the whole world...because God's people make Him happy.
