Lexicon :: Strong's H8342 - śāśôn

You have loved righteousness (virtue, morality, justice) and hated wickedness;

Therefore God, your God, has anointed You

Above Your companions with the oil of jubilation.

Make me hear joy and gladness and be satisfied;

Let the bones which You have broken rejoice.

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation

And sustain me with a willing spirit.

He brought out His people with joy,

And His chosen ones with a joyful shout,

I have taken Your testimonies as a heritage forever,

For they are the joy of my heart.

Therefore with joy you will draw water

From the springs of salvation.

Instead, there is joy and jubilation,

Killing of oxen and slaughtering of sheep,

Eating meat and drinking wine, saying,

“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

And the ransomed of the LORD will return

And come to Zion with shouts of jubilation,

And everlasting joy will be upon their heads;

They will find joy and gladness,

And sorrow and sighing will flee away.

For the LORD will comfort Zion [in her captivity];

He will comfort all her ruins.

And He will make her wilderness like Eden,

And her desert like the garden of the LORD;

Joy and gladness will be found in her,

Thanksgiving and the voice of a melody.

So the redeemed of the LORD will return

And come with joyful shouting to Zion;

Everlasting joy will be on their heads.

They will obtain gladness and joy,

And sorrow and sighing will flee away.

To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following:

To give them a [fn]turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning],

The oil of joy instead of mourning,

The garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.

So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God],

The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

Your words were found and I ate them,

And Your words became a joy to me and the delight of my heart;

For I have been called by Your name,

O LORD God of hosts.

“Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance,

And the young men and old, together,

For I will turn their mourning into joy

And will comfort them and make them rejoice after their sorrow.

“Give praise and thanks to the LORD of hosts,

For the LORD is good;

For His [steadfast] lovingkindness (mercy) endures forever”;

and of those who bring a thank offering into the house of the LORD. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were at first,’ says the LORD.

The vine dries up

And the fig tree fails;

The pomegranate, the palm also, and the apple tree,

All the trees of the field dry up,

Indeed, joy dries up and withdraws

From the sons of men.
