וְהָיָה֙ אֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֔ה בָּ֖א עִ֣יר דָּוִ֑ד וּמִיכַ֨ל בַּת־שָׁא֜וּל נִשְׁקְפָ֣ה ׀ בְּעַ֣ד הַחַלּ֗וֹן וַתֵּ֨רֶא אֶת־הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ דָּוִד֙ מְפַזֵּ֤ז וּמְכַרְכֵּר֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַתִּ֥בֶז ל֖וֹ בְּלִבָּֽהּ׃

Als die Lade des Herrn in der Stadt Davids anlangte, schaute Michal, die Tochter Sauls, zum Fenster hinaus und sah den König David hüpfen und tanzen vor dem Herrn. und sie verspottete ihn in ihrem Herzen.

Mishneh Torah, Shofar, Sukkah and Lulav

The joy that a person should express in performing the Commandment[s] and in the love of God who commanded them, is a great worship [to God]. Whoever avoids expressing this joy is worthy of being punished for it, as it is stated: "...in return for you not worshipping the LORD your God with joy and with goodness of heart." And whoever carries hismelf haughtily and takes pride in himself and considers hismelf too dignified in such places is a sinner and a fool. Concerning this Solomon admonished and said: "Do not dignify yourself in front of a king." But whoever lowers himself and eases oneself in such places is the [real] great and dignified one who worships out of love. So did David, King of Israel, say: "...and I would be even less worthy than this and would be lowly in my own eyes." There is no greatness and honor but to rejoice before God, as it is stated: "And King David was spinning and crowing before God" etc. Finished are the laws of the Lulav, Praise to the Inspector of kidneys and heart.
