Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to the LORD of lords.
His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to the LORD of lords. His faithful love endures forever.
1 Timothy 6:13-16
And I charge you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, that you obey this command without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now on until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. For,
At just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed
and only almighty God, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. He alone
can never die, and he lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach
him. No human eye has ever seen him, nor ever will. All honor and power
to him forever! Amen. (see all 1 Timothy 6)
2 Chronicles 20:18-21
Then King Jehoshaphat bowed low with his face to the ground. And all the people of Judah and Jerusalem did the same, worshiping the LORD. Then the Levites from the clans of Kohath and Korah stood to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with a very loud shout.
Early the next morning the army of Judah went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. On the way Jehoshaphat stopped and said, "Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Believe in the LORD your God and you will be able to stand firm. Believe in his prophets, and you will succeed."
After consulting the people, the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the LORD and praising him for his holy splendor. This is what they sang:
"Give thanks to the LORD;
his faithful love endures forever!" (see all 2 Chronicles 20)
Ezra 3:10-13
When the builders completed the foundation of the LORD's Temple, the priests put on their robes and took their places to blow their trumpets. And the Levites, descendants of Asaph, clashed their cymbals to praise the LORD, just as King David had prescribed. With praise and thanks, they sang this song to the LORD:
"He is so good!
His faithful love for Israel endures forever!"
Then all the people gave a great shout, praising the LORD because the foundation of the LORD's Temple had been laid.
But many of the older priests, Levites, and other leaders who had seen the first Temple wept aloud when they saw the new Temple's foundation. The others, however, were shouting for joy. The joyful shouting and weeping mingled together in a loud noise that could be heard far in the distance.
(see all Ezra 3)
