You will have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel, establishing that the salvation and restoration will be celebrated with songs and rejoicing, with procession to the holy mountain and participation in festive worship. The song in the night suggests joy despite darkness and danger, confidence grounded in faith. The holy feast imagery suggests covenant celebration and communal worship. The flute and procession suggest festive joy and public celebration. The mountain of the LORD and the Rock of Israel represent God's presence and the security of God's strength. The oracle concludes with the affirmation that salvation culminates in joyful worship and celebration of God's might.
