My joy (2/4)

The hopes of the godly result in happiness, but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing.The hope of the righteous brings them joy, but the expectations of the wicked are frustrated.
And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!”Then Nehemiah added: “You now may go. Eat rich food and drink what is sweet. Moreover, send some of these to those for whom nothing has been prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord. Furthermore, do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.When my anxious thoughts multiplied, your comfort filled my soul with joy.
The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. Since you have been faithful in small matters, I will give you much greater responsibilities. Come and share your master’s joy.’
But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.”While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud cast a shadow over them. Then a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say: Rejoice!
But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.But for you who fear my name the sun of justice will arise with its healing rays. You will emerge leaping like calves released from the stall.
But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.But I will sing of your strength; when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness. For you have been my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.For I will provide the weary with all they need, and I will restore the strength of all those who have grown faint with hunger.
The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living.The precepts of the Lord are right, causing the heart to rejoice. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving light to the eyes.
I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.I love you, O Lord, my strength, O Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer. My God is my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding or a bride with her jewels.I rejoice in the Lord with all my heart; my soul exults in my God. For he has clothed me in garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of saving justice, like a bridegroom adorned with a garland or a bride bedecked with her jewels.
Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!Blessed is the one whose offense is forgiven, whose sin is erased.
I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.I will rejoice and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.
My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.My deliverance and my glory depend on God; he is my mighty rock and my refuge.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress, so that I stand unshaken.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.Even should my heart and my flesh fail, God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.
You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope.You are my refuge and my shield; I put my hope in your word.
You light a lamp for me. The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.You, O Lord, are light for my lamp; O my God, you make my darkness turn to light.
But consider the joy of those corrected by God! Do not despise the discipline of the Almighty when you sin.Blessed is the man whom God reproves. Therefore, do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress, so that I stand ever unshaken.
One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.”After John had baptized all the people, and while Jesus was engaged in prayer after also having been baptized, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.”
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light to my path.

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.As for me, I do not regard my life as of any value, only that I finish the race and complete the mission that I received from the Lord Jesus—to bear witness to the gospel of God’s grace.
