And Sarah said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me.

Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exaltation; then would they say among the Gentiles, The Lord has done great things among them.

They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exaltation, bringing their sheaves [with them].

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

And they answered [each other] with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, [saying], For [it is] good, for His mercy to Israel [endures] forever. And all the people shouted with a loud voice to praise the Lord at the laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.

And the people did not distinguish the voice of the glad shout from the voice of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud voice, and the voice was heard even from afar off.

And in that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had made them very joyful: and their wives and their children rejoiced; and the joy in Jerusalem was heard from afar off.

Be glad in the Lord, and exalt, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart!

Shout to God, all the earth! Sing and rejoice, and sing psalms!

A Psalm for Thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall hunger; behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall thirst; behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed;

behold, My servants shall exalt with joy, but you shall cry for the sorrow of your heart, and shall howl for the vexation of your spirit.
