York Bible Society, used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers.
GEN 14:20 And blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies into
your hand." Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
EXO 15:1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: "I will
sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has
hurled into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is
my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea. The best of
Pharaoh's officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.
6 "Your right hand, O LORD, was majestic in power. Your right hand, O
LORD, shattered the enemy.
7 In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.
8 By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters
stood firm like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 "The enemy boasted, 'I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide
the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand
will destroy them.'
10 But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like
lead in the mighty waters.
11 "Who among the gods is like you, O LORD? Who is like you-- majestic in
holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
12 You stretched out your right hand and the earth swallowed them.
13 "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In
your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.
14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of
Philistia.
15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be
seized with trembling, the people of Canaan will melt away;
16 terror and dread will fall upon them. By the power of your arm they
will be as still as a stone-- until your people pass by, O LORD, until the
people you bought pass by.
17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your
inheritance--the place, O LORD, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary,
O Lord, your hands established.
18 The LORD will reign for ever and ever."
19 When Pharaoh's horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the
LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites
walked through the sea on dry ground.
21 Miriam sang to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The
horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea."
DEU 10:21 He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those
great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.
JDG 5:1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
2 "When the princes in Israel take the lead, when the people willingly
offer themselves-- praise the LORD!
3 "Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the LORD, I
will sing; I will make music to the LORD, the God of Israel.
1SA 2:1 Then Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; in
the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I
delight in your deliverance.
2 "There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there
is no Rock like our God.
3 "Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed.
4 "The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed
with strength.
5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food, but those who were
hungry hunger no more. She who was barren has borne seven children, but she
who has had many sons pines away.
6 "The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and
raises up.
7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.
8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. "For the
foundations of the earth are the LORD'S; upon them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced in
darkness. "It is not by strength that one prevails;
10 those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder against
them from heaven; the LORD will judge the ends of the earth. "He will give
strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed."
2SA 22:1 David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD
delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2 He said: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my
salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior--from violent men
you save me.
4 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my
enemies.
1CH 16:8 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the
nations what he has done.
9 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD
rejoice.
11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
12 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he
pronounced,
13 O descendants of Israel his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
15 He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a
thousand generations,
16 the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting
covenant:
18 "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will
inherit."
19 When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
20 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
21 He allowed no man to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
22 "Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all
peoples.
25 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared
above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the
heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling
place.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory
and strength,
29 ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name. Bring an offering and come
before him; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it
cannot be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the
nations, "The LORD reigns!"
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant,
and everything in them!
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing, they will sing for joy before
the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
35 Cry out, "Save us, O God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the
nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, that we may glory in
your praise."
36 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to
everlasting. Then all the people said "Amen" and "Praise the LORD."
23:30 They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD.
They were to do the same in the evening
29:10 David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly,
saying, "Praise be to you, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from
everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the
majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
12 Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In
your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.
14 "But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as
generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only
what comes from your hand.
15 We are aliens and strangers in your sight, as were all our forefathers.
Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
16 O LORD our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for
building you a temple for your Holy Name, it comes from your hand, and all
of it belongs to you.
17 I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity.
All these things have I given willingly and with honest intent. And now I
have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to
you.
18 O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep this desire
in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you.
19 And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your
commands, requirements and decrees and to do everything to build the
palatial structure for which I have provided."
2CH 5:13 The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice,
to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and
other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang:
"He is good; his love endures forever." Then the temple of the LORD was
filled with a cloud,
7:3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the
LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the
ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, "He is
good; his love endures forever."
NEH 9:5 And the Levites--Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah,
Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah--said: "Stand up and praise the LORD your
God, who is from everlasting to everlasting." "Blessed be your glorious
name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.
6 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,
and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and
all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of
heaven worship you.
JOB 36:24 Remember to extol his work, which men have praised in song.
38:7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for
joy?
PSA 7:17 I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and
will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
8:2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because
of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the
nations what he has done.
21:13 Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength; we will sing and praise your
might.
22:22 I will declare your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will
praise you.
23 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor
him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before
those who fear you will I fulfill my vows.
24:7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty
in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that
the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty--he is the King of
glory. Selah
26:12 My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise
the LORD.
28:6 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.

helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

long.

everlasting. Amen and Amen.
42:4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with
the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of
joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng.
43:3 Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them
bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
4 Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I
will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.
47:1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing
praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.
48:1 Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God,
his holy mountain.

so that I may show him the salvation of God."
51:15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
52:9 I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will
hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your
saints.
56:10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise--
57:7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and
make music.
8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among
the peoples.

after day.

hands.

lips my mouth will praise you.

night.

your enemies cringe before you.

praise to your name." Selah

33 to him who rides the ancient skies above, who thunders with mighty
voice.

in the skies.
69:30 I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.

love your salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!"

4 One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of
your mighty acts.

meditate on your wonderful works.
6 They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim
your great deeds.
7 They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your
righteousness.

11 They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,
12 so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor

through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and
loving toward all he has made.
14 The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed
down.
15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper

17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has
made.
18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in
truth.
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and
saves them.
20 The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will
destroy.
21 My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise
his holy name for ever and ever.
146:1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long
as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day
their plans come to nothing.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD
his God,
6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them--the
LORD, who remains faithful forever.
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The
LORD sets prisoners free,
8 the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed
down, the LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the
widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
10 The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise
the LORD.
147:1 Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how
pleasant and fitting to praise him!
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
6 The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp.
8 He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes
grass grow on the hills.
9 He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.
10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in
the legs of a man;
11 the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his
unfailing love.
12 Extol the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion,
13 for he strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people
within you.
14 He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of
wheat.
15 He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
16 He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast?
18 He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the
waters flow.
19 He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel.
148:1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the
heights above.
2 Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were
created.
6 He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never
pass away.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean
depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,
9 you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on
earth,
12 young men and maidens, old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
14 He has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his saints,
of Israel, the people close to his heart. Praise the LORD.
149:1 Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the
assembly of the saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the people of Zion be glad in
their King.
3 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with
tambourine and harp.
4 For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with
salvation.
5 Let the saints rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds.
6 May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in
their hands,
7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,
9 to carry out the sentence written against them. This is the glory of all
his saints. Praise the LORD.
150:1 Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his
mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing
greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp
and lyre,
4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and
flute,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding
cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
ISA 6:3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the
LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."
12:1 In that day you will say: "I will praise you, O LORD. Although you
were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me.
2 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD,
the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."
3 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
4 In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name
is exalted.
5 Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to
all the world.
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One
of Israel among you."
24:14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they
acclaim the LORD'S majesty.
15 Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; exalt the name of the
LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: "Glory to the Righteous
One." But I said, "I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous
betray! With treachery the treacherous betray!"
25:1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in
perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long
ago.
35:10 and the ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with
singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will
overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
38:18 For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise;
those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living--they praise you, as I am doing today; fathers
tell their children about your faithfulness.
42:10 Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth,
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who
live in them.
11 Let the desert and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements
where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them
shout from the mountaintops.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD and proclaim his praise in the islands.
43:21 the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.
49:13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O
mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his
afflicted ones.
51:3 The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on
all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the
garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and
the sound of singing.
52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good
news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy.
When the LORD returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes.
9 Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD
has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
61:3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown
of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a
garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks
of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
JER 31:7 This is what the LORD says: "Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for
the foremost of the nations. Make your praises heard, and say, 'O LORD,
save your people, the remnant of Israel.'
33:11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom,
and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD,
saying, "Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good; his love
endures forever." For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were
before,' says the LORD.
EZE 3:12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a loud
rumbling sound--May the glory of the LORD be praised in his dwelling
place!--
DAN 2:20 and said: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom
and power are his.
23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom
and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made
known to us the dream of the king."
4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of
heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And
those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
JON 2:9 But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I

MAT 26:30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
LUK 1:46 And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on
all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me-- holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who
are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the
humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away
empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our
fathers."
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 "Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has
redeemed his people.
69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant
David
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us--
72 to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve
him without fear
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
2:13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the
angel, praising God and saying,
14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his
favor rests."
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things
they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of
the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
17:15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a
loud voice.
16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a
Samaritan.
19:37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of
Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud
voices for all the miracles they had seen:
38 "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in
heaven and glory in the highest!"
24:52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
ACT 2:46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.
They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere
hearts,
47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord
added to their number daily those who were being saved.
4:24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to
God. "Sovereign Lord," they said, "you made the heaven and the earth and
the sea, and everything in them.
16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God,
and the other prisoners were listening to them.

pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my
mind.

blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called
you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
4:11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of

glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

forevermore! Amen.
REV 1:6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and
Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with
eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop
saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is
to come."
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who
sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever,
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and
worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the
throne and say:
11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and
power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and
have their being."
5:9 And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to
open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased
men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and
they will reign on the earth."
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands
upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the
throne and the living creatures and the elders.
12 In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to
receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and
praise!"
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth
and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the
throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever
and ever!"
14 The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and
worshiped.
7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no
one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing
before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes
and were holding palm branches in their hands.
10 And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who
sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders
and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the
throne and worshiped God,
12 saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and
power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"
11:6 These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain
during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the
waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as
often as they want.
17 saying: "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and
who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.
14:2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and
like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists
playing their harps.
3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living
creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000
who had been redeemed from the earth.
7 He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour
of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the
sea and the springs of water."
15:3 and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the
Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true
are your ways, King of the ages.
4 Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you
alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your
righteous acts have been revealed."
19:1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in
heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our
God,
2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great
prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her
the blood of his servants."
3 And again they shouted: "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever
and ever."
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and
worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: "Amen,
Hallelujah!"
5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying: "Praise our God, all you his
servants, you who fear him, both small and great!"
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of
rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For
our Lord God Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the
Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
