AE 405b - Rejoice!

AE 405b [11]
Praise Jehovah, mountains and hills, tree of fruit, and all cedars.
(Psalm 148:7,9)
This describes the joy of heart from the good of love and charity;
and "mountains," "hills," "trees," and "cedars,"
are said to "break forth with singing aloud" "to clap the hand," and "to praise,"
because these signify the goods and truths that cause joys in man;
for man does not rejoice from himself,
but from the goods and truths that are with him;
these rejoice because they make joy for man.
