A sound heart— A joyful or congratulating heart; a heart which is rejoiced at the prosperity of others, and which derives from thence the greatest satisfaction to itself. This is the import of the word מרפא marpei, which we render sound, according to Schultens; and certainly the contrast to the next clause is thus well preserved.
