On the Lord's day the Spirit took control of me, and I heard a loud voice, that sounded like a trumpet, speaking behind me.

his feet shone like brass that has been refined and polished, and his voice sounded like a roaring waterfall.

Praise the LORD, the God of Israel! He alone does these wonderful things.

Praise his glorious name forever! May his glory fill the whole world. Amen! Amen!

Praise the LORD, you strong and mighty angels, who obey his commands, who listen to what he says.

Praise the LORD, all you heavenly powers, you servants of his, who do his will!

Praise him, all his angels, all his heavenly armies.
