The people of God are not all good and moral people. They do terrible things. But they know that they are utterly dependent on God, and if they do anything that is good, it is because God pushes them into it and helps them every inch of the way. They do not feel that they have to protect God from other people; they know that they fail God but they pick themselves up (with God’s help) out of the mud and try again. And they rejoice. David danced for God, leaping with joy around the ark.
