Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
You will sing songs like you do during the night of a sacred festival, and your hearts will be filled with joy like when people walk with music and instruments up the mountain to worship the LORD, the powerful God of Israel.
God is promising that His people will experience deep joy and celebration, like the happiness felt during religious festivals when worshiping Him.
