Glimpses of God
Rejoice!
Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of
his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful
unto his land, and to his people.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Let
the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the
nations, The Lord reigneth. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the
fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of
thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let
thy saints rejoice in goodness. That which he laboured for shall he restore, and
shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be,
and he shall not rejoice therein. They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at
the sound of the organ.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 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. Be glad in the Lord,
and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Let
all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy
salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy
judgments. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall
wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete
out the valley of Succoth. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him
that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love
thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice
in thy name. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
righteousness shall they be exalted.
Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his
enemies to rejoice. O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and
be glad all our days.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the
fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall
all the trees of the wood rejoice. The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let
the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his
holiness. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise,
and rejoice, and sing praise.
The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his
works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the
Lord.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete
out the valley of Succoth. This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will
rejoice and be glad in it.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him,
and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad
and rejoice in his salvation. The meek also shall increase their joy in the
Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert
shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice
even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the
excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the
excellency of our God.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will
strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right
hand of my righteousness. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand,
saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth
for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake
them. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the
valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of
water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the
myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine,
and the box tree together: That they may see, and know, and consider, and
understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One
of Israel hath created it.
For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in
their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double:
everlasting joy shall be unto them.
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he
hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe
of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride
adorneth herself with her jewels.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the
bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. But be
ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create
Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her,
nor the voice of crying. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye
that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her.
And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish
like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and
his indignation toward his enemies. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and
will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. Yea, I will rejoice
over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my
whole heart and with my whole soul.
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. Be
glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath
given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the
rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. Sing, O daughter
of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of
Jerusalem.
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice
over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with
singing. Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell
in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
For who hath despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice, and shall
see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of
the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy
King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon
an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as
through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall
rejoice in the Lord. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but
rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. For we are the
circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and
have no confidence in the flesh. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say,
Rejoice.
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb
is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
