Psalms 132:16

14 “This^a is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

15 ^aI will abundantly bless her¹ provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 ^aI will also clothe her priests with salvation,
^bAnd her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17 ^aThere I will make the¹ horn of David grow;
^bI will prepare a lamp for My¹ Anointed.

18 His enemies I will ^aclothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”

Psalm 132:16

There will be everlasting joy when God's Kingdom is established on earth. Joy and gladness are not only deep inward feelings, but they are also expressed in visible celebration when God's people gather together. Speaking of the future church, Isaiah 60:15 says, "Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one went through you, I will make you an eternal excellence, a joy of many generations." In the meantime, the apostle Paul advises us to "rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4)
