The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy.

You make me happier than those who have abundant grain and wine.

He makes the barren woman of the family a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord!

Then you turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy.

for there our captors ask us to compose songs; those who mock us demand that we be happy, saying: “Sing for us a song about Zion!”
