God's Presence is Our Joy
The command to "shout" isn't just about feeling happy; it's a response to a profound truth. Commentators explain that the ultimate source of Christian joy is the very presence of God among His people. John Calvin states that our only true happiness is having God dwell with us. This presence, specifically identified by scholars like John Gill as Christ the Redeemer, is the reason for our praise.
