1 Chronicles 16:31

This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge.

I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

Shout for joy to Yahweh, all you lands!

mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;

Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved.

For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.

For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.

Yah is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!

For our shield belongs to Yahweh, our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

All your works will give thanks to you, Yahweh. Your saints will extol you.

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.

“I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”

For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.

When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army. When they stood, they let down their wings.

When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

saying: “We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power and reigned.

I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.

They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God;

There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the covenant, all that I command you for the children of Israel.

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.

Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.

He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you will judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations on earth.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.

The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!

Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.

I bring my righteousness near. It is not far off, and my salvation will not wait. I will grant salvation to Zion, my glory to Israel.

Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With a voice of singing announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth: say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!”

He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”

Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says Yahweh.

Tell them, ‘ “As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?” ’

Those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the expanse. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever.

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.

His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”

Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

Sing, heavens, and be joyful, earth! Break out into singing, mountains, for Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.

For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!

The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.

For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.

Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’

The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.

Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
