What the Bible Says About Thanksgiving, Rejoicing, Generosity, and Blessingsනියැදිය

Rejoice – 1

Rejoice before the Lord your God.

Rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the Lord your God has blessed you. … Rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household.

But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create. … Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!” … Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. … Sing for joy, you heavens, for the Lord has done this; shout aloud, you earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests and all your trees. … Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion) on his afflicted ones. … Rejoice, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! … Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them!

The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. … The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. … You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. … Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy. … Let all creation rejoice before the Lord.
