Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
