4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

11 You reveal the path of life to me;

in your presence is abundant joy;  *

at your right hand are eternal pleasures.  *

11 You reveal the path of life to me;

in your presence is abundant joy;  *

at your right hand are eternal pleasures.  *

8 I always let the Lord guide me.  *

Because he is at my right hand,

I will not be shaken.  *

9 Therefore my heart is glad

and my whole being rejoices;

my body also rests securely.  *

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;  *

let them shout for joy forever.

May you shelter them,  *

and may those who love your name boast about you.  *

7 You are my hiding place;  *

you protect me from trouble.  *

You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance. Selah

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples;  *

shout to God with a jubilant cry.  *

4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;  *

he adorns the humble with salvation.  *

22 But the fruit of the Spirit  * is love,  * joy,  * peace, patience,  * kindness,  * goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness,  * and self-control.  * The law is not against such things.  *

10 Then he said to them, "Go and eat what is rich, drink what is sweet, and send portions to those who have nothing prepared,  * since today  * is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, because the joy of the Lord is your strength."  *,*

10 Then he said to them, "Go and eat what is rich, drink what is sweet, and send portions to those who have nothing prepared,  * since today  * is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, because the joy of the Lord is your strength."  *,*

24 This is the day the  Lord has made;

let’s rejoice and be glad in it.  *

14 I rejoice in the way revealed by your decrees  *

as much as in all riches.

111 I have your decrees as a heritage forever;

indeed, they are the joy of my heart.  *

1 How happy is everyone who fears the  Lord,

who walks in his ways!  *

2 You will surely eat

what your hands have worked for.  *

You will be happy,

and it will go well for you.  *

5 Those who sow in tears

will reap with shouts of joy.  *

5 For his anger lasts only a moment,

but his favor, a lifetime.

Weeping may stay overnight,

but there is joy in the morning.  *

5 For his anger lasts only a moment,

but his favor, a lifetime.

Weeping may stay overnight,

but there is joy in the morning.  *

2 Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials,  *3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

17 Though the fig tree does not bud

and there is no fruit on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

and the fields produce no food,

though the flocks disappear from the pen

and there are no herds in the stalls,

18 yet I will celebrate in the  Lord;

I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!  *

10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ.  * For when I am weak, then I am strong.  *

8 Though you have not seen  * him, you love him;  * though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice  * with inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

8 Though you have not seen  * him, you love him;  * though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice  * with inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

12 Rejoice in hope;  * be patient in affliction;  * be persistent in prayer.  *

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice;  * weep with those who weep.

17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,  * but righteousness, peace, and joy  * in the Holy Spirit.

17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,  * but righteousness, peace, and joy  * in the Holy Spirit.

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe  * so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  *

32 and that, by God’s will,  * I may come to you with joy  * and be refreshed together with you.

7 Each person should do as he has decided in his heart — not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves  * a cheerful giver.

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.  *

17 Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant  * or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God,  * who richly provides us with all things  * to enjoy.

11 "I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.*

11 "I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.*

22 So you also have sorrow*now. But I will see you again. Your hearts will rejoice,*and no one will take away your joy from you.*

24 Until now you have asked for nothing in my name.*Ask and you will receive,*so that your joy may be complete.*

2 keeping our eyes on Jesus,  * the pioneer and perfecter  * of our faith. For the joy that lay before him,  * he endured the cross, despising the shame,  * and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

3 You have enlarged the nation

and increased its joy.  *,*

The people have rejoiced before you

as they rejoice at harvest time

and as they rejoice when dividing spoils.  *

6 Cry out and sing, citizen of Zion,

for the Holy One of Israel  * is among you

in his greatness."

10 and the ransomed of the  Lord will return  *

and come to Zion with singing,

crowned with unending joy.

Joy and gladness will overtake them,

and sorrow and sighing will flee.  *

10 I rejoice greatly in the  Lord,

I exult in my God;

for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation

and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness,  *

as a groom wears a turban

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.  *

10 I rejoice greatly in the  Lord,

I exult in my God;

for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation

and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness,  *

as a groom wears a turban

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.  *

17 The Lord your God is among you,

a warrior  * who saves.

He will rejoice over you  * with gladness.

He will be quiet  * in his love.

He will delight in you with singing."  *

7 Go, eat your bread with pleasure, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart, for God has already accepted your works.  *

12 Restore the joy of your salvation to me,

and sustain me by giving me a willing spirit.  *

6 You give him blessings forever;  *

you cheer him with joy in your presence.  *

19 When I am filled with cares,

your comfort brings me joy.  *

7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;

my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.  *

Therefore my heart celebrates,

and I give thanks to him with my song.  *

28 The hope of the righteous is joy,  *

but the expectation of the wicked will perish.  *

23 A person takes joy in giving an answer;  *

and a timely word — how good that is!  *

23 A person takes joy in giving an answer;  *

and a timely word — how good that is!  *

24 The father of a righteous son will rejoice greatly,

and one who fathers a wise son will delight in him.  *

16 Rejoice  * always, 17 pray constantly, 18 give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will  * for you in Christ Jesus.

7 I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven*over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who don’t need repentance.

44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.*
