Psalms 29:9

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.

The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

All of Mount Sinai smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and told about it, all the city cried out.

She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because God’s ark was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!

He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who has been living in it.

In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil which is before the covenant, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh: it shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.

Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.

This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yahweh, were there.

Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.

“Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;

Yes, the doe in the field also calves and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.

“For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

and they burn to Yahweh every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and the lamp stand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God, but you have forsaken him.

Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.

Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.

As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.

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!

Take me away with you. Let’s hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! They are right to love you.

Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.

Yahweh’s glory shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”

A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

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.

For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.

He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.

So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of Yahweh’s temple.

and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in Yahweh’s temple where God’s ark was,

Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of Yahweh’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.

There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.

Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

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

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Worship Yahweh in holy array.

We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.

My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.

Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power,

The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”

For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.

He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.

For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.

Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.

For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is prepared. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. Yahweh’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.

The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.

“The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God’s wrath is finished.

The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

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;
