From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Thou hast put gladness in my heart -Thou hast made me happy, to wit, in the manner specified inPsalms 4:6. Many had sought happiness in other things; he had sought it in the favor of the Lord, and the Lord had given him a degree of happiness which they had never found in the most prosperous worldly condition. This happiness had its seat in the “heart,” and not in any external circumstances. All true happiness must have its seat there, for if the heart is sad, of what avail are the most prosperous external circumstances? More than in the time -More than they have had in the time referred to; or, more than I should have in such circumstances.
