Psalms 30:5

Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Nehemiah 8:10

The joy of the LORD (ha ADONAI) is your strength.

Matthew 26:48-49

Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, ‘The One I kiss, He’s the One—seize Him!’ And immediately Judas drew near to Yeshua and said, “Shalom, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

Luke 2:10-11

But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; HE is the Messiah, the Lord.

John 12:44-46

If you trust ME, you are really trusting YAHWEH who sent ME. For when you see ME, you are seeing the ONE who sent ME. I have come as a Light to Shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in ME will no longer remain in the darkness.

John 15:11

I have told you these things so that you will be filled with MY JOY

John 17:13

I AM coming to YOU now, but I say these things while I AM still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of MY JOY within them.

Romans 4:7-8

Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD (ha ADONAI) has cleared of sin

Philippians 4:10-13

I rejoiced greatly in ha ADONAI that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through HIM who gives me strength.

Hebrews 12:2

For the JOY set before HIM, HE endured the cross, disregarding its shame; and HE has taken HIS seat at the right hand of the throne of YAHWEH.
