³⁴ My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

¹⁷ Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

¹⁸ Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

² But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

¹²⁷ Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

¹²⁸ Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

⁴⁷ And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

¹⁵ I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

¹⁶ I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

¹¹¹ Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

⁶ When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

² I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
