Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zephaniah 3:17

_ _ he will rest in his love — content with it as His supreme delight (compare Luke 15:7, Luke 15:10) [Calvin], (Isaiah 62:5; Isaiah 65:19). Or, He shall be silent, namely as to thy faults, not imputing them to thee [Maurer] (Psalms 32:2; Ezekiel 33:16). I prefer explaining it of that calm silent joy in the possession of the object of one’s love, too great for words to express: just as God after the six days of creation rested with silent satisfaction in His work, for “behold it was very good” (Genesis 1:31; Genesis 2:2). So the parallel clause by contrast expresses the joy, not kept silent as this, but uttered in “singing.”
