Praise
the LORD! —in His sanctuary, with instruments and dance, with singing, with a
new song, letting the children rejoice, in speech and action, from the rising
of the sun to its setting, with the whole heart, in the midst of the
congregation, with the angels and all creation, calling on His name, with a
joyful noise, with shouts of joy, among the nations, because of His salvation
and love and mercy and understanding and deliverance, with blessing, clapping
your hands, with hope, by listening for His voice, without fear, waiting in
silence, with prayer from righteous lips, because all glory goes to Him, from
this time forth and forevermore! ~from the Psalms~
