God Is King over All the Earth
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of (A)the Sons of Korah.
47 (B)Clap your hands, all peoples!
(C)Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
2 For the Lord, the Most High, (D)is to be feared,
(E)a great king over all the earth.
3 He (F)subdued peoples under us,
and nations under our feet.
4 He chose our (G)heritage for us,
(H)the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah
5 God (I)has gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is (J)the King of all the earth;
sing praises (K)with a psalm![a]
8 God (L)reigns over the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
9 (M)The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
For (N)the shields of the earth belong to God;
he is highly exalted!
15 Then Moses went up on the mountain, and (A)the cloud covered the mountain. 16 (B)The glory of the Lord dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. And on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a (C)devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. 18 Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses (D)was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
Vision of the Son of Man
9 I, John, your brother and (A)partner in (B)the tribulation and (C)the kingdom and (D)the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos (E)on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 (F)I was in the Spirit (G)on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice (H)like a trumpet 11 saying, (I)“Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw (J)seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands (K)one like (L)a son of man, (M)clothed with a long robe and (N)with a golden sash round his chest. 14 (O)The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. (P)His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 (Q)his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and (R)his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 (S)In his right hand he held seven stars, (T)from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and (U)his face was like the sun shining (V)in full strength.
17 (W)When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But (X)he laid his right hand on me, (Y)saying, “Fear not, (Z)I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. (AA)I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and (AB)I have the keys of Death and Hades.
