Joyful saints

 And let Your saints shout for joy. Psalm 132.9

And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. Psalm 132:16

Here is the psalmist's wish let Your saints shout for joy.

Here is the Lord’s promise to fulfill that wish, to answer that prayer: the saints of Zion will shout aloud for joy.

Saints will rejoice because they are sanctified.

Holiness and joy are together, it is not possible to be holy and not to rejoice.

Nobody can fully rejoice unless they are holy. When we pray for holiness, God also gives joy. It comes as a set and cannot be obtained separately.

He who once cried: " O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?", one day he will surely shout with joy, he will thank the Lord for deliverance from sin.
