'Joy' in the Bible

Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

“The whole earth is at rest and is quiet;They break forth into shouts of joy.

Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,No treader treads out wine in the presses,For I have made the shouting to cease.

There is an outcry in the streets concerning the wine;All joy turns to gloom.The gaiety of the earth is banished.

They raise their voices, they shout for joy;They cry out from the west concerning the majesty of the Lord.

Your dead will live;Their corpses will rise.You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,For your dew is as the dew of the dawn,And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.

It will blossom profuselyAnd rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy.The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,The majesty of Carmel and Sharon.They will see the glory of the Lord,The majesty of our God.

Then the lame will leap like a deer,And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.For waters will break forth in the wildernessAnd streams in the Arabah.

And the ransomed of the Lord will returnAnd come with joyful shouting to Zion,With everlasting joy upon their heads.They will find gladness and joy,And sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voices,The settlements where Kedar inhabits.Let the inhabitants of Sela sing aloud,Let them shout for joy from the tops of the mountains.

Shout for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done it!Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth;Break forth into a shout of joy, you mountains,O forest, and every tree in it;For the Lord has redeemed JacobAnd in Israel He shows forth His glory.

Shout for joy, O heavens! And rejoice, O earth!Break forth into joyful shouting, O mountains!For the Lord has comforted His peopleAnd will have compassion on His afflicted.

Indeed, the Lord will comfort Zion;He will comfort all her waste places.And her wilderness He will make like Eden,And her desert like the garden of the Lord;Joy and gladness will be found in her,Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.

So the ransomed of the Lord will returnAnd come with joyful shouting to Zion,And everlasting joy will be on their heads.They will obtain gladness and joy,And sorrow and sighing will flee away.

“Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerousThan the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.

“For you will go out with joyAnd be led forth with peace;The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you,And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

“Whereas you have been forsaken and hatedWith no one passing through,I will make you an everlasting pride,A joy from generation to generation.

Instead of your shame you will have a double portion,And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,Everlasting joy will be theirs.

Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His word:“Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for My name’s sake,Have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy.’But they will be put to shame.
