Psalm 149 This is a good way to end the exploration of Joy in the Psalms. After all the psalms of lament, here is one that sings a new song to God. This is a song of Joy. The dark days are over. God has restored the people. They are no longer wandering in the wilderness. They are no longer mourning separation from their land. They no longer feel cut off from God. They are back in God’s presence. They feel Him. They feel free to worship Him. Now they feel unfettered Joy. No longer is there a struggle to feel Joy. It is free flowing. It is a timely reminder that the darkness and wilderness times come to an end. The time for being in the wilderness ends and the time for Joy starts. Now to explore what the rest of the Bible says about joy.
