Psalm 111-112

111 Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.

112 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;

His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.

He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Hebrews 11:32-12:2

32 And what more do I say? For the time would fail me telling of Gideon, and Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, and David and Samuel, and of the prophets:

33 who by faith overcame kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped lions' mouths,

34 quenched [the] power of fire, escaped [the] edge of the sword, became strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, made [the] armies of strangers give way.

35 Women received their dead again by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, that they might get a better resurrection;

36 and others underwent trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, and of bonds and imprisonment.

37 They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, died by the death of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, evil treated,

38 (of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts and mountains, and [in] dens and caverns of the earth.

39 And these all, having obtained witness through faith, did not receive the promise,

40 God having foreseen some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.

12 Let *us* also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,

looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured [the] cross, having despised [the] shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Psalm 148

148 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths,—

13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!

Psalm 150

150 Hallelujah! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him in his mighty acts; praise him according to the abundance of his greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him with lute and harp;

Praise him with the tambour and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and the pipe;

Praise him with loud cymbals; praise him with high sounding cymbals.

Let everything that hath breath praise Jah. Hallelujah!

Revelation 21:1-4

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.

And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.

Revelation 21:22-22:5

22 And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.

23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.

24 And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.

25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.

26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.

27 And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who [are] written in the book of life of the Lamb.

22 And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, [the] tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations.

And no curse shall be any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,

and they shall see his face; and his name [is] on their foreheads.

And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of [the] sun; for [the] Lord God shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages.
