37 When he [Jesus] came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 38 "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" [PSALM 118:26] "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" 40 "I tell you," he replied, "IF THEY KEEP QUIET, THE STONES WILL CRY OUT."
JOSHUA 24 : 14-28 (New Living Translation)THE LORDS COVENANT RENEWED
... 14 "So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly. PUT AWAY FOREVER THE IDOLS YOUR ANCESTORS WORSHIPED WHEN THEY LIVED BEYOND THE EUPHRATES RIVER AND IN EGYPT. SERVE THE LORD ALONE. 15 But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then CHOOSE TODAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? BUT AS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD."
16 The people replied, "We would never abandon the Lord and serve other gods. 17 For the Lord our God is the one who rescued us and our ancestors from slavery in the land of Egypt. He performed mighty miracles before our very eyes. As we traveled through the wilderness among our enemies, he preserved us. 18 It was the Lord who drove out the Amorites and the other nations living here in the land. So we, too, will serve the Lord, for he alone is our God."
19 Then Joshua warned the people, "You are not able to serve the Lord, for he is a holy and jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins. 20 If you abandon the Lord and serve other gods, he will turn against you and destroy you, even though he has been so good to you."
21 But the people answered Joshua, "No, we will serve the Lord!"
22 "You are a witness to your own decision," Joshua said. "You have chosen to serve the Lord."
"Yes," they replied, "we are witnesses to what we have said."
23 "All right then," Joshua said, "destroy the idols among you, and turn your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel."
24 The people said to Joshua, "We will serve the Lord our God. We will obey him alone."
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day at Shechem, committing them to follow the decrees and regulations of the Lord. 26 Joshua recorded these things in THE BOOK OF GODS INSTRUCTIONS. As a reminder of their agreement, HE TOOK A HUGE STONE and rolled it beneath the terebinth tree beside the Tabernacle of the Lord.
27 Joshua said to all the people, "THIS STONE HAS HEARD EVERYTHING THE LORD SAID TO US. IT WILL BE A WITNESS TO TESTIFY AGAINST YOU IF YOU GO BACK ON YOUR WORD TO GOD."
28 Then Joshua sent all the people away to their own homelands.
PSALM 19 (New Living Translation)
1 THE HEAVENS PROCLAIM THE GLORY OF GOD. THE SKIES DISPLAY HIS CRAFTSMANSHIP. 2 DAY AFTER DAY THEY CONTINUE TO SPEAK; NIGHT AFTER NIGHT THEY MAKE HIM KNOWN. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. [or There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Read ROMANS 10 where Paul quotes this scripture in VERSE 18] 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.
PSALM 96
1 SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG; SING TO THE LORD, ALL THE EARTH. 2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. 3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. 4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. 6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. 7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts. 9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. 10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity. 11 LET THE HEAVENS REJOICE, LET THE EARTH BE GLAD; LET THE SEA RESOUND, AND ALL THAT IS IN IT; 12 LET THE FIELDS BE JUBILANT, AND EVERYTHING IN THEM. Then ALL THE TREES OF THE FOREST WILL SING FOR JOY; 13 THEY WILL SING BEFORE THE LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth.
PSALM 98
1 Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. 2 The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. 3 He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; 5 make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, 6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn- shout for joy before the LORD, the King. 7 LET THE SEA RESOUND, AND EVERYTHING IN IT, THE WORLD, AND ALL WHO LIVE IN IT. 8 LET THE RIVERS CLAP THEIR HANDS, LET THE MOUNTAINS SING TOGETHER FOR JOY; 9 LET THEM SING BEFORE THE LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.
1 CHRONICLES 16: 23-36
23 Sing to the LORD, ALL THE EARTH; PROCLAIM HIS SALVATION DAY AFTER DAY. 24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. 25 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. 26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. 27 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place. 28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength, 29 ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name. Bring an offering and come before him; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. 30 Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. 31 LET THE HEAVENS REJOICE, LET THE EARTH BE GLAD; LET THEM SAY AMONG THE NATIONS, "THE LORD REIGNS!" 32 LET THE SEA RESOUND, AND ALL THAT IS IN IT; LET THE FIELDS BE JUBILANT, AND EVERYTHING IN THEM! 33 THEN THE TREES OF THE FOREST WILL SING, THEY WILL SING FOR JOY BEFORE THE LORD, FOR HE COMES TO JUDGE THE EARTH. 34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 35 Cry out, "Save us, O God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, that we may glory in your praise." 36 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said "Amen" and "Praise the LORD."
ISAIAH 55: 6-13
6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. 8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; THE MOUNTAINS AND HILLS WILL BURST INTO SONG before you, and ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD WILL CLAP THEIR HANDS. 13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed."
HABAKKUK 2: 9-12 (New Living Translation)
9 "What sorrow awaits YOU WHO BUILD BIG HOUSES WITH MONEY GAINED DISHONESTLY! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your family's nest beyond the reach of danger. 10 But by the murders you committed, you have shamed your name and forfeited your lives. 11 THE VERY STONES IN THE WALLS CRY OUT AGAINST YOU, AND THE BEAMS IN THE CEILINGS ECHO THE COMPLAINT.
12 "WHAT SORROW AWAITS YOU WHO BUILD CITIES WITH MONEY GAINED THROUGH MURDER AND CORRUPTION! 13 Has not the Lord of Heaven's Armies promised that THE WEALTH OF NATIONS WILL TURN TO ASHES? They work so hard, but all in vain! 14 For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the Lord.
ISAIAH 44: 22-23
22 I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you." 23 SING FOR JOY, O HEAVENS, for the LORD has done this; SHOUT ALOUD, O EARTH BENEATH. BURST INTO SONG, YOU MOUNTAINS, YOU FORESTS and ALL YOUR TREES, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel.
ISAIAH 42: 10-12
SONG OF PRAISE TO THE LORD
10 SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the SEA, and ALL THAT IS IN IT, YOU ISLANDS, and all who live in them. 11 LET THE DESERT AND ITS TOWNS RAISE THEIR VOICES; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops. 12 Let them give glory to the LORD and proclaim his praise in the islands.
REVELATION 5: 13 13 Then I heard EVERY CREATURE IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH AND ON THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM, SINGING: "TO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND TO THE LAMB BE PRAISE AND HONOR AND GLORY AND POWER, FOR EVER AND EVER!"
PSALM 148
1 PRAISE THE LORD. [Hebrew HALLELU YAH; also in verse 14] Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above.
2 Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
3 PRAISE HIM, SUN AND MOON, praise him, ALL YOU SHINING STARS.
4 Praise him, YOU HIGHEST HEAVENS and YOU WATERS ABOVE THE SKIES.
5 LET THEM PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD, FOR HE COMMANDED AND THEY WERE CREATED.
6 He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave a decree that will never pass away.
7 PRAISE THE LORD from the earth, YOU GREAT SEA CREATURES AND ALL OCEAN DEPTHS, 8 LIGHTNING AND HAIL, SNOW AND CLOUDS, STORMY WINDS THAT DO HIS BIDDING, 9 YOU MOUNTAINS AND ALL HILLS, FRUIT TREES AND ALL CEDARS, 10 WILD ANIMALS AND ALL CATTLE, SMALL CREATURES AND FLYING BIRDS, 11 KINGS OF THE EARTH AND ALL NATIONS, YOU PRINCES AND ALL RULERS ON EARTH, 12 YOUNG MEN AND MAIDENS, OLD MEN AND CHILDREN.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
14 He has raised up for his people a horn, ["Horn" here symbolizes strong one, that is, king (Jesus)] the praise of all his saints, of Israel, the people close to his heart.
Praise the LORD.
