Psalm 98

“Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done wonderful deeds.His right hand has won a mighty victory; his holy arm has shown his saving power! The Lord has announced his victory and has revealed his righteousness to every nation! He has remembered his promise to love and be faithful to Israel. The ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.

Psalm 98

Shout to the Lord, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy! Sing your praise to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious song, with trumpets and the sound of the ram’s horn. Make a joyful symphony before the Lord, the King! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the earth and all living things join in.

Psalm 98

Let the rivers clap their hands in glee! Let the hills sing out their songs of joy before the Lord. For the Lord is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with fairness.”

you, but will rejoice over you with singing."

Isaiah 61

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to

proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captivesand release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,the oil of

joy instead of mourning,and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.They will be called oaks

of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”
