Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
And in that day you will say I will give praise to you, O Lord; for though you were angry with me, your wrath is turned away, and I am comforted.
To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.
Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
