He is happy to help humble people, so that people respect them. The people who belong to God should be very happy, because he has made them great. They should always sing with joy, even when they lie on their beds at night. 6They should shout aloud to praise God, while they hold sharp swords in their hands. 7That is how they must fight against other nations, to punish them for their sins.
