Bible verses about "happiness" | YLT

³ Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell in the land, and enjoy faithfulness,

¹⁷ Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not, ¹⁸ For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His hands heal. ¹⁹ In six distresses He delivereth thee, And in seven evil striketh not on thee. ²⁰ In famine He hath redeemed thee from death, And in battle from the hands of the sword. ²¹ When the tongue scourgeth thou art hid, And thou art not afraid of destruction, When it cometh. ²² At destruction and at hunger thou mockest, And of the beast of the earth, Thou art not afraid. ²³ (For with sons of the field is thy covenant, And the beast of the field Hath been at peace with thee.) ²⁴ And thou hast known that thy tent is peace, And inspected thy habitation, and errest not, ²⁵ And hast known that numerous is Thy seed, And thine offspring as the herb of the earth; ²⁶ Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season. ²⁷ Lo, this—we searched it out—it is right, hearken; And thou, know for thyself!

¹³ yea, even every man who eateth and hath drunk and seen good by all his labour, it is a gift of God.

¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

¹⁴ but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy are ye! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,

¹² Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,

³ And ye have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of salvation,

⁷ and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

¹³ O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth forth understanding. ¹⁴ For better is her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold—her increase. ¹⁵ Precious she is above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her. ¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand, In her left are wealth and honour. ¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. ¹⁸ A tree of life she is to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her is happy.

¹³ Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy is affliction.

² Lo, God is my salvation, I trust, and fear not, For my strength and song is Jah Jehovah, And He is to me for salvation.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;

¹² I have known that there is no good for them except to rejoice and to do good during their life,

⁴ And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.
