David again and again paints the picture of reverent but joyful worship in this manner. Reverence does not prohibit exuberance, but only controls it. While the saying, "If God hadn't meant for use to _____ He wouldn't have given us ____" is often overused, it does apply in this case. He does not expect us be emotionless, but He also does not want us to be controlled by our emotions. One of the fruits of the spirit is self-control<ref>Galatians 5:22-23</ref> (or "temperance" if you read it in the old English).
