Christ was really out chea with regards to his suffering
They believed this about the Servant because the Law said, “a hanged man is cursed by God” (Deuteronomy 21:23).
The onlookers thought Christ was suffering only what He deserved, but His experience of pain and anguish was for His people (1 Peter 2:24). The publicity of His suffering shows that His compassion is real and not theoretical (Hebrews 2:17-18).

My depiction of the psalmist as far back as I can remember!

In this verse, God opens up a new future for the humble (Isaiah 29:19) where gloom had previously existed (Isaiah 35:10; Isaiah 51:3; Isaiah 61:7). This new joy finds expression in the metaphors of harvest and of victory.

Paul uses the metaphor of fruit to describe the conduct of the believer in Romans 6:22; Ephesians 5:9; and Philippians 1:11.
John the Baptist likewise claimed that true repentance would produce the “fruit” of concrete ethical behavior (Matthew 3:8; Luke 3:8). The love produced by the Spirit is like the love of Christ. It goes far beyond the performance of legalistic self-righteousness (Luke 10:25–37).
Paul punctuates the list with the pun. “against such there is no law” – a deliberate subversion of “The Law,” that is, the Jewish Torah, which believers in Christ fulfill now not by circumcision but by faith.
It’s interesting to consider the gastronomical metaphor that becomes part of Paul’s theology. Paul has linked the “flesh” with being under the law as well as with all the nasty behaviors such as fornication, impurity, idolatry, etc. Then he says that in contrast the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace. Not only are these not product of the law, there is no law against any of them. They are all good things.
