Joy for All God's People
Commentators explain that the call for joy extends from 'Mount Zion' (Jerusalem, the main center of worship) to the 'daughters of Judah.' Most scholars agree this refers to the surrounding towns and villages, showing that God's deliverance is for the entire community of faith, not just its capital city. Some, like John Gill, extend this metaphor to include individual churches and believers.
