43:4 Then I will go 1 to the altar of God,
to the God who gives me ecstatic joy, 2
so that I express my thanks to you, 3 O God, my God, with a harp.
71:23 My lips will shout for joy! Yes, 4 I will sing your praises!
I will praise you when you rescue me! 5
118:14 The Lord gives me strength and protects me; 6
he has become my deliverer.” 7
118:15 They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly. 8
The Lord’s right hand conquers, 9
135:3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good!
Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant! 10
149:1 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song!
Praise him in the assembly of the godly! 12
149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Creator!
Let the people 13 of Zion delight in their king! 14
149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing!
Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp!
“For he is good;
his loyal love toward Israel is forever.”
All the people gave a loud 16 shout as they praised the Lord when the temple of the Lord was established. 3:12 Many of the priests, the Levites, and the leaders 17 – older people who had seen with their own eyes the former temple while it was still established 18 – were weeping loudly, 19 and many others raised their voice in a joyous shout. 3:13 People were unable to tell the difference between the sound of joyous shouting and the sound of the people’s weeping, for the people were shouting so loudly 20 that the sound was heard a long way off.
19:5 Then 21 a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God
all you his servants,
and all you who fear Him,
both the small and the great!”
19:6 Then 22 I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting: 23
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God, 24 the All-Powerful, 25 reigns!
19:7 Let us rejoice 26 and exult
and give him glory,
because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
