Bible verses about Joy

Joy in Scripture is deeper than circumstance — it survives prison cells and shipwrecks. These verses point to a gladness that no season can take away.

16In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

55I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

111Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

162I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
