³⁰ The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.

²⁵ Like cold water to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.

⁵ There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

²³ The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

¹⁰ The angel said to them, "Don't be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.

¹¹ For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

¹² This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."

¹³ Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

¹⁴ "Glory to God in the highest, On earth peace, good will toward men."

¹⁵ It happened, when the angels went away from them into the sky, that the shepherds said one to another, "Let's go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."

¹⁶ They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.

¹⁷ When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

¹⁸ All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.

¹⁹ But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.

¹¹ and Yahweh will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters don't fail.

⁷ Truly the light is sweet, And a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun.

²² A cheerful heart makes good medicine, But a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

⁹ The light of the righteous shines brightly, But the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.

⁸ It will be health to your body, And nourishment to your bones.

¹⁵ Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.

⁸ Now for a little moment grace has been shown from Yahweh our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
