Dancing Feet

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker, let the children of Zion be joyful in their king. . .

Let them praise His name in the dance;
let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.  Psalm 149:2,3

They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.  Job 21:11

Then David danced before the LORD with all his might . . . "In God's presence I'll dance all I want . . . Oh yes, I'll dance to God's glory - more recklessly even than this . . . I'll gladly look like a fool.  2 Samuel 6:14(NKJV), 21-22(The Message Bible)

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven . . . a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.  Ecclesiastes 3:1,4

The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying; "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.  Again I will rebuild you, and you shall be rebuilt O virgin of Israel!  You shall again be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice."  Jeremiah 31:3,4

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old, together; for I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them, and make them rejoice rather than sorrow.  I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.  Jeremiah 31:13,14

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent, O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.  Psalm 30:11
