Psalms 5:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice. David is fond of contrasts. Here he sots the lot of the righteous over against that of the wicked. While the wicked "fall," and are "cast out," or "thrust down' to hell, the righteous "rejoice "—nay, ever shout for joy, displaying their feelings in the true Oriental manner.

Because thou defendest them. There is no "because" in the original. The passage runs on without any change of construction, "Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice; let them ever shout for joy, and do thou defend them; and let them that love thy Name be joyful in thee."
