Come, let us praise the LORD! Let us sing for joy to God, who protects us!

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and sing joyful songs of praise.

Sing a new song to the LORD! Sing to the LORD, all the world!

Sing to the LORD, and praise him! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.

Sing a new song to the LORD; he has done wonderful things! By his own power and holy strength he has won the victory.

He kept his promise to the people of Israel with loyalty and constant love for them. All people everywhere have seen the victory of our God.

Then the people who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD listened and heard what they said. In his presence, there was written down in a book a record of those who feared the LORD and respected him.

Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

Speak to one another with the words of psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing hymns and psalms to the Lord with praise in your hearts.

Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts.

Are any among you in trouble? They should pray. Are any among you happy? They should sing praises.

I have not kept the news of salvation to myself; I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help. In the assembly of all your people I have not been silent about your loyalty and constant love.

You have taught me ever since I was young, and I still tell of your wonderful acts.

Proclaim his glory to the nations, his mighty deeds to all peoples.

What you have done will be praised from one generation to the next; they will proclaim your mighty acts.

People will speak of your mighty deeds, and I will proclaim your greatness.
