Explanation

The lord says that, with help from those around him and God’s approval, they may restore ordinary meals and peaceful sleep. He also hopes they can honor their duties and receive honors freely again. This hopeful expectation makes “hopeful” the best choice; the passage is not mainly expressing gloom or hostility.
