The imagery of being "clothed with righteousness" suggests that their actions and character should reflect God's holiness and justice. In the Old Testament, priests wore specific garments as described in <a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28</a>, symbolizing purity and dedication to God. Righteousness here implies moral integrity and adherence to God's laws, which is essential for those serving in a spiritual capacity. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are called a "royal priesthood" (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>), indicating that all Christians are to embody righteousness. The idea of being "clothed" with righteousness also points to the transformative work of Christ, who provides believers with His righteousness (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-21.htm">2 Corinthians 5:21</a>).<p><b>and Your saints shout for joy</b><br>The term "saints" refers to God's faithful people, those set apart for His purposes. In the context of ancient Israel, this would include those who are in covenant with God and live according to His commandments. The call for them to "shout for joy" reflects a response of worship and gratitude for God's presence and blessings. Joy is a recurring theme in the Psalms, often associated with God's deliverance and faithfulness (<a href="/psalms/100.htm">Psalm 100:1-2</a>). This joy is not merely an emotional response but a deep-seated assurance of God's goodness and sovereignty. In the New Testament, joy is a fruit of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22</a>), indicating that it is a natural outcome of a life aligned with God's will. The joy of the saints can also be seen as a foretaste of the eternal joy promised in the presence of God (<a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3-4</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/priests.htm">Priests</a></b><br>In the context of ancient Israel, priests were the mediators between God and the people, responsible for performing sacrifices and maintaining the temple.

This variation, however, is an almost positive proof that the psalmist, not the chronicler, is adopting words for his own purpose.<p>Possibly the priestly garments are mentioned, not only as symbolic of righteousness, but also as investing whoever possessed them, with supremacy political as well as religious.
