18:20 (Rejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has pronounced judgment 1 against her on your behalf!) 2
19:1 After these things I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a vast throng in heaven, saying,
“Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
19:2 because his judgments are true and just. 3
For he has judged 4 the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality,
and has avenged the blood of his servants 5 poured out by her own hands!” 6
19:3 Then 7 a second time the crowd shouted, “Hallelujah!” The smoke rises from her forever and ever. 8 19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground 9 and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: “Amen! Hallelujah!”
19:5 Then 10 a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God
all you his servants,
and all you who fear Him,
both the small and the great!”
19:6 Then 11 I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting: 12
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God, 13 the All-Powerful, 14 reigns!
19:7 Let us rejoice 15 and exult
and give him glory,
because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
96:11 Let the sky rejoice, and the earth be happy!
Let the sea and everything in it shout!
96:12 Let the fields and everything in them celebrate!
Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy
96:13 before the Lord, for he comes!
For he comes to judge the earth!
He judges the world fairly, 16
and the nations in accordance with his justice. 17
148:1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the sky!
Praise him in the heavens!
148:2 Praise him, all his angels! 19
Praise him, all his heavenly assembly! 20
148:3 Praise him, O sun and moon!
Praise him, all you shiny stars! 21
148:4 Praise him, O highest heaven,
and you waters above the sky! 22
49:13 Shout for joy, O sky! 23
Rejoice, O earth!
Let the mountains give a joyful shout!
For the Lord consoles his people
and shows compassion to the 24 oppressed.
55:12 Indeed you will go out with joy;
you will be led along in peace;
the mountains and hills will give a joyful shout before you,
and all the trees in the field will clap their hands.
55:13 Evergreens will grow in place of thorn bushes,
firs will grow in place of nettles;
they will be a monument to the Lord, 25
a permanent reminder that will remain. 26
2:14 “Glory 27 to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among people 28 with whom he is pleased!” 29
