Psalms 149:1

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!”

Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces.

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 has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.

I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

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

I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

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

He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.

I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

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

that men may declare Yahweh’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!

Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth!

“Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by Yahweh’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—

Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”

I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

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!

When a man vows a vow to Yahweh, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.

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.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

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!

I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people.

Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.

He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”

He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness sustained him.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”

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.

These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.

My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

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

“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”

Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

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

saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”
