But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
But let everyone who trusts in you be filled with joy and celebrate forever, because you protect them. Let all who love your name find happiness in you.
God is telling those who trust and love Him to be joyful because He protects and defends them.
