Psalms 148:1

The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”

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.

Blessed is he who comes in Yahweh’s name! We have blessed you out of Yahweh’s house.

mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;

For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

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

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!

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.

They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

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!

Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

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

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

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

Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

Praise Yah! I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

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!”

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.

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.

Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”

They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.

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.”

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.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”

I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

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

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long.

Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

but we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!

The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.

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.

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.

All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”

Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

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;

A second said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever.”

God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”

May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.”

He said, “Yahweh came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shone from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.

“Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?

Salvation belongs to Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people.

I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.

a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?

Sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.

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

Praise Yah! Praise God in his sanctuary! Praise him in his heavens for his acts of power!

Let everything that has breath praise Yah! Praise Yah!

In that day you will say, “I will give thanks to you, Yahweh; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me.

Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.

Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.

Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance; the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”

Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek Yahweh their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to Yahweh and to his blessings in the last days.

But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”

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

As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”

The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

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

Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

To them it was revealed, that they served not to themselves, but to you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.
