A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.
Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; And the end of that mirth is heaviness.
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
