I am certain that I will see the LORD’s goodness

in the land of the living.

the holiness of your temple.[fn]

Teach me good judgment and discernment,

and the LORD’s praiseworthy acts,

“Look! My servants will shout for joy from a glad heart,

but you will cry out from an anguished heart,

to eat its fruit and bounty,

but after you entered, you defiled my land;

you made my inheritance detestable.

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;

because of the LORD’s goodness,

because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil,

and because of the young of the flocks and herds.

Their life will be like an irrigated garden,

and they will no longer grow weak from hunger.

I will refresh the priests with an abundance,[fn]

and my people will be satisfied with my goodness.

that loves to thresh,

but I will place a yoke on[fn] her fine neck.

Grain will make the young men flourish,

and new wine, the young women.
