Therefore redeemed of Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. Thy watchmen shall lift up voice; with voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are children of desolate than children of married wife, saith Lord. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: mountains and hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all trees of field shall clap their hands.

For thus saith Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among chief of nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, remnant of Israel. Therefore they shall come and sing in height of Zion, and shall flow together to goodness of Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for young of flock and of herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

Then heaven and earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for spoilers shall come unto her from north, saith Lord.

The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in midst of seas. And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in days of her youth, and as in day when she came up out of land of Egypt.

Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. The Lord thy God in midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in midst of thee, saith Lord.

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that foundations of prison were shaken: and immediately all doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to glory of God. Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of circumcision for truth of God, to confirm promises made unto fathers: And that Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

What is it then? I will pray with spirit, and I will pray with understanding also: I will sing with spirit, and I will sing with understanding also.

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to Lord; Let 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 Lord. Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in midst of church will I sing praise unto thee.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take book, and to open seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And they sung as it were a new song before throne, and before four beasts, and elders: and no man could learn that song but hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from earth. And they sing song of Moses servant of God, and song of Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

The memory of just is blessed: but name of wicked shall rot. And I will sow them among people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.

Then they that feared Lord spake often one to another: and Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Lord, and that thought upon his name.
