Hi Jacqui. In Hebrew, 'soul' (nephesh) is a feminine noun. So David is specifically referring to his soul, his inner being, that will glory/rejoice in the LORD, rather than giving the impression that his glorying is simply a mental or superficial act. In many languages, Hebrew included, the gender is not applied to the person speaking, but to the object being referred to.
Another example can be seen in Proverbs 1:20,21, "Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words". Here, Wisdom, in Hebrew, is a feminine noun, so when wisdom is revealed or spoken about, we read it in the feminine gender.
To understand Psalms you have to understand that it is Christ talking, not David, David just penned the words of Christ.
2 Samuel 23:1 ....the sweet psalmist of Israel, said
2 Samuel 23:2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me .....
Psalms 34:2 My (Christ) soul (body) shall make her boast in the LORD (Christ's father and Christ's God), the humble (the called of God) shall hear thereof and be glad.
The Psalms is a prophesy of Christ, not David.
May God Bless you as he gives his light into truth.
