Psalms 51:12

51:12 Let me again experience the joy of your deliverance!

Sustain me by giving me the desire to obey!

Isaiah 61:3

61:3 to strengthen those who mourn in Zion,

by giving them a turban, instead of ashes,

oil symbolizing joy, instead of mourning,

a garment symbolizing praise, instead of discouragement.

They will be called oaks of righteousness,

trees planted by the Lord to reveal his splendor.

Isaiah 65:18

65:18 But be happy and rejoice forevermore

over what I am about to create!

For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem to be a source of joy,

and her people to be a source of happiness.

Isaiah 66:13-14

66:13 As a mother consoles a child,

so I will console you,

and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”

66:14 When you see this, you will be happy,

and you will be revived.

The Lord will reveal his power to his servants

and his anger to his enemies.
