Gladness and Joy!

The ransomed of the LORD will return. 
They will enter Zion with singing; 
everlasting joy will crown their heads. 

Gladness and joy will overtake them, 
and sorrow and sighing will flee away. 

Isaiah 51:11 NIV 


Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: 
they shall walk, O LORD, 
in the light of thy countenance. 

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: 
and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 

Psalm 89:15,16 KJV 


I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, 
My soul will exult in my God; 

For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, 
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, 
As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, 
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, 
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, 
So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness 
and praise to spring up before all the nations. 

Isaiah 61:10,11 NASB 


Blow the trumpets in times of gladness, too, sounding them at your annual festivals and at the beginning of each month to rejoice over your burnt offerings and peace offerings. The trumpets will remind the LORD your God of his covenant with you. I am the LORD your God." 

Numbers 10:10 NLT 


Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; 
Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. 

Sing to the LORD with the harp, 
With the harp and the sound of a psalm, 

With trumpets and the sound of a horn; 
Shout joyfully before the LORD, the King. 

Psalm 98:4-6 NKJV
