Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalm 148
¹¹ Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;
¹² Both young men and maidens; Old men and children.
¹³ Let them praise the name of the Lord, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
¹⁴ And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints-- Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise the Lord!
Psalm 149
¹ Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints.
² Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
³ Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
⁴ For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.
⁵ Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds.
⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,
⁷ To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;
