Testament
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye
righteous: for praise is comely for the
upright. Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto
him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten
strings. Sing unto him a new song; play
skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of
the LORD is right; and all his works are done
in truth. Psalms 33:1-4
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I
will sing and give praise. Awake up, my glory;
awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake
early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the
people: I will sing unto thee among the
nations. Psalms 57:7-9
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
Sing forth the honour of his name: make his
praise glorious. Psalms 66:1-2
Thou shalt increase my
greatness, and comfort me on every side. I
will also praise thee with the psaltery, even
thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing
with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. My
lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto
thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Psalms 71:21-23
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a
joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. Take a
psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the
pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow up the
trumpet in the new moon, in the time
appointed, on our solemn feast day. Psalms
81:1-3
It is a good thing to give
thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto
thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy
lovingkindness in the morning, and thy
faithfulness every night, Upon an instrument
of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon
the harp with a solemn sound. Psalms 92:1-3
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make
a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with
thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him
with psalms. Psalms 95:1-2
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the
earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and
sing praise. Sing unto the LORD with the harp;
with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. With
trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful
noise before the LORD, the King. Psalms 98:4-6
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye
lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come
before his presence with singing. Psalms
100:1-2
I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon
a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings
will I sing praises unto thee. Psalms 144:9
Let Israel rejoice in him that
made him: let the children of Zion be joyful
in their King. Let them praise his name in the
dance: let them sing praises unto him with the
timbrel and harp. For the LORD taketh pleasure
in his people: he will beautify the meek with
salvation. Psalms 149:2-4
Praise him for his mighty
acts: praise him according to his excellent
greatness. Praise him with the sound of the
trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and
harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
praise him with stringed instruments and
organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let
every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD. Psalms 150:2-6
But we are all as an unclean
thing, and all our righteousnesses are as
filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and
our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us
away. Isaiah 64:6
New
Testament
Verily I say unto you, I will
drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until
that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of
God. And when they had sung an hymn, they went
out into the mount of Olives. Mark 14:25-26
Who, having received such a
charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and
made their feet fast in the stocks. And at
midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang
praises unto God: and the prisoners heard
them. And suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so that the foundations of the
prison were shaken: and immediately all the
doors were opened, and every one's bands were
loosed. Acts 16:24-26
Speaking to yourselves in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Giving thanks always for all things unto God
and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another
in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:19-21
Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in
your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do
in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the
Father by him. Colossians 3:16-17
Is any among you afflicted?
let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing
psalms. James 5:13
