¹¹ And you will have joy in every good thing which the Lord your God has given to you and to your family; and the Levite, and the man from a strange land who is with you, will take part in your joy.

⁷ There you and all your families are to make a feast before the Lord your God, with joy in everything to which you put your hand, because the Lord has given you his blessing.

¹¹ Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.

¹⁷ For how good it is and how beautiful! grain will make the young men strong and new wine the virgins.

³ Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.

⁴ So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.

⁵ My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

¹² And you will be glad before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, and your men-servants and your women-servants, and the Levite who is with you in your house, because he has no part or heritage among you.

¹⁷ Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

¹⁸ And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

⁴ Be glad in the Lord at all times: again I say, Be glad.

¹¹ If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?

⁴⁶ And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts,

⁴⁷ Giving praise to God, and having the approval of all the people; and every day the number of those who had salvation was increased by the Lord.

¹⁴ My servants will make songs in the joy of their hearts, but you will be crying for sorrow, and making sounds of grief from a broken spirit.

¹ <A Psalm of Praise.> Make a glad sound to the Lord, all the earth.

² Give worship to the Lord with joy; come before him with a song.

⁴⁷ Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;

¹⁸ But they will be your food before the Lord your God in the place of his selection, where you may make a feast of them, with your son and your daughter, and your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is living with you: and you will have joy before the Lord your God in everything to which you put your hand.
