with exceeding joy. (KJV)

Deut 33:29
29 Happy art
thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people
saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and
who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine
enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou
shalt tread upon their high places.
(KJV)
Job
5:17-27
17 Behold, happy is the
man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not
thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For
he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and
his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver
thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall
no evil touch thee. 20 In famine he shall redeem
thee from death: and in war from the power of
the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the
scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be
afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At
destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither
shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the
stones of the field: and the beasts of the field
shall be at peace with thee.
24 And thou
shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in
peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and
shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that
thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as
the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come
to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of
corn cometh in in his season.
27 Lo this, we
have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know
thou it for thy good.

36:8
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied

yea, thy law is within my heart.

thee with joyful lips:

that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well
with thee.

Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD
his God:

findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth
understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it
is better than the merchandise of silver, and
the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is
more precious than rubies: and all the things
thou canst desire are not to be compared unto
her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand;
and in her left hand riches and honour.
17
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her
paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to
them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every
one that retaineth her.

mischief.

he.

salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for
the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he
also is become my salvation.

with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of
salvation.
(KJV)
