"I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of SALVATION, He hath covered me with the garments of RIGHTEOUSNESS, as bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the GARDEN causeth the things that are sown in it to SPRING FORTH, so the Lord GOD will cause RIGHTEOUSNESS and PRAISE to spring forth before ALL NATIONS."

Pleasure Forevermore

"Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the LORD,
'You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.'
As for the saints in the land, they are excellent ones,
In whom is all my delight.
The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I shall not pour out
Or take their names upon my lips.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup;
You hold my lot.
The lines are fallen for me in pleasant places;
Indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
I bless the LORD, who gives me counsel;
In the night also my heart instructs me.
I have set the LORD always before me;
Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad,
And my whole being rejoices;
My flesh also dwells secure.
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
Or let your Holy One see corruption.
You make known to me the paths of Life;
In Your presence there is fullness of JOY;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore!"

- Psalm 16, ESV
