³⁴ May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,
    for I rejoice in the Lord.

¹⁷ Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
    and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
    and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
    and the cattle barns are empty,
¹⁸ yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
    I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

⁴⁷     How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
