True Merriment
James 5:13
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.


Gr. εὐθυμεῖ — is he right set, well hung on, as we say? All true mirth is from the rectitude of the mind, from a right frame of soul that sets and shows itself in a cheerful countenance.

(J. Trapp.)
