Countenance » Cheerful
Many are saying, “Oh, that we might see some good!”
Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Lord.
“I smiled at them when they did not believe,
And they did not diminish the light of my face.
For You make him most blessed [and a blessing] forever;
You make him joyful with the joy of Your presence.
For our fathers did not possess the land [of Canaan] by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them,
But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence,
Because You favored and delighted in them.
A heart full of joy and goodness makes a cheerful face,
But when a heart is full of sadness the spirit is crushed.
As iron sharpens iron,
So one man sharpens [and influences] another [through discussion].
Joy » Of saints should be » Exceeding
For You make him most blessed [and a blessing] forever;
You make him joyful with the joy of Your presence.
But let the righteous be glad; let them be in good spirits before God,
Yes, let them rejoice with delight.
