they are the noble ones.
All my delight is in them.

for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips. Ex 23:13; Jos 23:7

and my spirit rejoices;
my body also rests securely. Ps 4:7-8; 13:5

in Your presence is abundant joy; Ps 21:6
