Jeremiah 31:7. For thus says the Lord: Sing with great joy for Jacob,
and shout among the chief of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say,
O Lord, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!

Hebrews 12:11. Now no discipline seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Isaiah 66:5. Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His word:
Your brethren who hated you, who cast you out for My name’s sake said,
Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy.
But they shall all be ashamed.

Hebrews 13:17. Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they
watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so
with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

Ezra 3:
10
When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their apparel
with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel.
11 And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord:
For He is good, for His mercy endures forever toward Israel.
Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation
of the house of the Lord was laid.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the
first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes.
Yet many shouted aloud for joy,
13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping
of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off.

1 Peter 1:
6
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been
grieved by various trials,
7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes,
though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation
of Jesus Christ,
8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice
with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

2 Chronicles 30:
21
So the children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great joy; and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing to the Lord, accompanied by loud instruments.
22 And Hezekiah gave encouragement to all the Levites who taught the good knowledge of the Lord;
and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and making confession to the
Lord God of their fathers.
23 Then the whole assembly agreed to keep the feast another seven days, and they kept it another seven days with great joy.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep,
and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number
of priests sanctified themselves.
25 The whole assembly of Judah rejoiced, also the priests and Levites, all the assembly that came
from Israel, the sojourners who came from the land of Israel, and those who dwelt in Judah.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of
Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.
27 Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and
their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven.

John 16:
20.
Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice;
and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into great joy.

21 A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as
she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for the great joy
that a human being has been born into the world.

22 Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice,
and your joy none will take from you.

23 And on that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask
the Father in My name He will give you.

24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive,
that your joy may be full.

Psalm 21:
1
The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord;
And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire,
And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3 For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 He asked life from You, and You gave it to him
Length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him
6 For You have made him most blessed forever;
You have given him fullness of joy with Your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.

Colossians 1:
9
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask
that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering
with joy;
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints
in the light.
13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son
of His love,
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Esther 9: The Feast of Purim
17
This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. And on the fourteenth of the month
they rested and made it a day of feasting and joyfulness.
18 But the Jews who were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day, as well as
on the fourteenth; and on the fifteenth of the month they rested, and made it a day of feasting
and joyfulness.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages who dwelt in the unwalled towns celebrated the fourteenth
day of the month of Adar with joy and feasting, as a holiday, and for sending presents to one another.

Luke 24: The Ascension
50
And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried
up into heaven.
52 And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.

Psalm 4:
6
There are many who say, Who will show us any good?
Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put the fullness of joy in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Acts 8:
6
And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing
and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed;
and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.

James 1:
2
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Galatians 5:
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

with great joy, so that the earth split with their sound.
