'Happiness' in the Bible
“When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out with the army nor be charged with any duty; he shall be free at home one year and shall give happiness to his wife whom he has taken.
Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.
How lovely on the mountainsAre the feet of him who brings good news,Who announces peaceAnd brings good news of happiness,Who announces salvation,And says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
My soul has been rejected from peace;I have forgotten happiness.
