James 5:13

Verse 13

‘Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.’

The second injunction concerns those who are not at present undergoing trials, and who are not burdened down by failure. They are ‘cheerful’. Life is going well for them. What must they do? They must sing praises (compare Ephesians 5:18-19; Colossians 3:16; Romans 15:9). They must worship their God and express their gratitude in song.
