“Ve’tzaddikim yismechu ya’altzu lifnei Elokim ve’yaseesu b’simcha (“And the righteous will rejoice. They will exult before Hashem and be filled with happiness”) (Tehillim 68:4)
The Malbim ztk”l expounds on this passuk that the radiance of Hashem is likened to fire and smoke to the wicked, however envelops the righteous in the form of clouds. This infuses them with endless simcha and bliss for they feel Hashem’s immediate presence with them always.
Those who are loyal and live their lives in accordance to Hashem’s will, develop absolute joy from life. This comes from their living with emet Eloki (the truth of Hashem) which is aligned with creation. There is no greater delight than knowing that you are fulfilling your mission in life.
”Yismach Yisrael b’osav, B’nai Tzion yageelu b’malcham (Israel will be happy in its Maker. The sons of Tzion will rejoice in their King”) (Tehillim 149:2)
Klal Yisrael have remained loyal to Hashem’s mitzvot and in doing so have proclaimed Him as their King. When we rejoice with Hashem and are content with our lives, it stands as a declaration before the nations of the world. This brings tremendous nachat to HaKadosh Baruch Hu and in turn Hashem shines His light onto us.
