Thus will I bless You during my life: I will lift up my hands in Your name.

Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise Your name.

My lips shall rejoice when I sing to You; and my soul, which You have redeemed.

Let them acknowledge to the Lord His mercies, and His wonderful works to the children of men.

And let them offer to Him the sacrifice of praise, and proclaim His works with exaltation.

And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants and your female servants, and the Levite that is at your gates; because he has no portion or inheritance with you.

And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son, and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatsoever place the Lord your God shall choose, that His name should be called there.

And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that is in your cities.

because you did not serve the Lord your God with gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things.

praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those who were being saved.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the place of Your wondrous tabernacle, [even] to the house of God, with a voice of exaltation and thanksgiving and of the sound of those who keep festival.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to Him with psalms.

And they entered into Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, [going] into the house of the lord.

And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, and the courses of each one according to his ministry, to the priests and to the Levites, for the whole burnt offering, and for the peace offering, and to praise, and to give thanks, and to minister in the gates, [and] in the courts of the house of the Lord.
