It is often used in the context of expressing a deep, exuberant joy that is both internal and external. This joy is frequently associated with spiritual or divine experiences, such as the joy of salvation, the presence of God, or the fulfillment of His promises.

Joy was not merely an emotion but a response to God's actions and presence.
