Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!
This verse contains two commands:
(1) “you who are godly…Rejoice in the Lord and be happy,” and
(2) “you who are morally upright…Shout for joy.”
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Saviour” (Habakkuk 3:17,18 NIV).
