Samach

SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
