Psalm 4:6-8
New King James Version
6 There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
(A)Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put (B)gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
8 (C)I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
(D)For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 16:11
New King James Version
11 You will show me the (A)path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 27:5-7
New King James Version
5 For (A)in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall (B)set me high upon a rock.
6 And now (C)my head shall be [a]lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of [b]joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

Suffering for God’s Glory
12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice (A)to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that (B)when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
