The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm XL
“Let all those that seek Thee, O Lord, rejoice and be glad” ( ver. 16 ). Those who “seek” not me, but “Thee;” who say not to me, “Well done! Well done!” but see me “glory in Thee,” if I have anything whereof to glory; for “he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” “Let all those who seek Thee, Lord, rejoice and be glad.”
