who are filled with much joy
and are glad when they reach the grave?

It would still bring me comfort,
and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain
that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Surely this is the joy of his way of life;
yet others will sprout from the dust.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter
and your lips with a shout of joy.

the joy of the wicked has been brief
and the happiness of the godless has lasted only a moment?

He will pray to God, and God will delight in him.
That man will see His face with a shout of joy,
and God will restore his righteousness to him.

while the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
