Festivity

I don't quite get the name Festival of Praise. It seems to imply that exultation is seasonal. Like mooncake. King David certainly did hold festivals to give praise. But more importantly, he tried harder to sing of an inner, permanent festivity in which the deepest sorrows could only but turn him toward the deepest Joy.

"I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." Ps 34:1
