Psalm 93

93 Jehovah reigneth, he hath clothed himself with majesty: Jehovah hath clothed himself, he hath girded himself with strength; yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved.

Thy throne is established of old; thou art from eternity.

The floods lifted up, O Jehovah, the floods lifted up their voice; the floods lifted up their roaring waves.

Jehovah on high is mightier than the voices of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea.

Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for ever.

Psalm 96

96 Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day.

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

For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;

Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

12 Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

13 Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.

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!

Isaiah 33:17-22

17 Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off.

18 Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

19 Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood.

20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall any of its cords be broken;

21 but there Jehovah is unto us glorious,—a place of rivers, of broad streams: no galley with oars shall go there, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

22 For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah, our lawgiver, Jehovah, our king: he will save us.

Revelation 22:6-11

And he said to me, These words [are] faithful and true; and [the] Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass.

And behold, I come quickly. Blessed [is] he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

And I, John, [was] he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.

And he says to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and [the fellow-bondman] of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do homage to God.

10 And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. The time is near.

11 Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.

Revelation 22:18-20

18 *I* testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book.

19 And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

20 He that testifies these things says, Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

Luke 1:57-66

57 But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.

58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.

59 And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.

60 And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.

61 And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.

62 And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.

63 And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.

64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.

65 And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things were the subject of conversation.

66 And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And [the] Lord's hand was with him.
