May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.
Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold. Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right; I hate every false way.
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.
I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
My soul keeps your testimonies; I love them exceedingly.
Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
