⁴ How happy is the one you choose
and bring near to live in your courts!
We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,^(A)
the holiness of your temple.^[a](B)

¹² They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;^(A)
they will be radiant with joy^(B)
because of the Lord’s goodness,
because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil,^(C)
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.
¹³ Then the young women will rejoice with dancing,
while young and old men rejoice together.
I will turn their mourning into joy,^(D)
give them consolation,
and bring happiness out of grief.
¹⁴ I will refresh the priests with an abundance,^[a](E)
and my people will be satisfied with my goodness.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
