1 1 The King shall joy in Thy strength, LORD,

and in Thy full salvation

how greatly He is rejoicing.

2 His heart's desire You gave Him,

and You have not withheld from Him

His tender lips' petition.

<selah> <repeat 1st verse>

2 3 For You have met Him with blessings

of goodness, and for His head

You ordain a crown of pure gold.

4 Life divine up from the dead,

He asked of You, and You gave Him

length of days that never end.

3 5 In that salvation wrought by Thee

His glory's great as can be.

You made to be fitting to Him

honor, beauty, majesty

6 for You have ordained Him to be

blessings for eternity.

4 You have made Him with Your presence,

glad with joy exceedingly,

7 for the King trusts in the Father,

and through the most High's mercy,

He shall ne'er be moved forever

8 though foes hate and despise Thee.

5 Your hand shall find out all Your foes.

Your right hand shall find out these.

9 You will ordain them to be those

like as an oven fiery.

The LORD shall consume them in wrath

at the time of Your coming.

6 And the fire shall devour them.

10 You'll destroy from earth their fruit

and their seed from the sons of men

11 for they Thee planned to uproot.

A plot `gainst Thee they imagined

which they could not execute.

7 12 For You have ordained them to be

a shoulder to pull Your cords

of the dwelling You made ready

before their faces, O Lord.

13 Be exalted, LORD, in Thy strength.

Thy might we sing and adore.

Hebrews 1:8 But of the Son, ``Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

John 16:13 But when He, the Spirit of reality, comes, He will guide you into all the reality; for He will not speak from Himself, but what He hears He will speak; and He will declare to you the things that are coming.

15 All that the Father has is Mine; for this reason I have said that He receives of Mine and will declare it to you.

John 1:16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and reality came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in spirit onto a great and high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God , 11 Having the glory of God . Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, as clear as crystal.

Thine inheritance, the nations,

and the uttermost parts of earth

shall be for Thine own possession.

Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. 9 Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

9 and having been made perfect, He became unto all them that obey Him the cause of eternal salvation;

Hebrews 7:24 but He, because He abideth for ever, hath His priesthood unchangeable.

25 Wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through Him, seeing He is always living to intercede for them.

Hebrews 2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing.

49:5 And now, saith Jehovah, that formed me from the womb to be his servant, that I should bring Jacob again to him; (though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorified in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God shall be my strength;)

7 Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to the servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, princes, and they shall worship, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.

48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever; And the bread which I will give is My flesh, given for the life of the world.

21:22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon that they should shine in it, for the glory of God illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb .

22:12 Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me to render to each one as his work is. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Revelation 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were released, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year that they might kill the third part of men. 16 And the number of the armies of horsemen was two hundred million; I heard their number. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision and those sitting on them, having breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues the third part of the men were killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone proceeding out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses are in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and had heads, and with them they harm men.

Zechariah 12:6 In that day will I make the thousands of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem

Isaiah 54:1 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 the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Jeremiah 10:20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

Matthew 18:6 And whoever stumbles one of these little ones who believe in Me, it is more profitable for him that a great millstone be hung around his neck and he be drowned in the open sea. 7 Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! For it is necessary for stumbling blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes.

Luke 17:1 And He said to His disciples, It is impossible for causes of stumbling not to come, but woe to him through whom they come. 2 It is more profitable for him if a millstone is put around his neck and he is hurled into the sea than to stumble one of these little ones.

1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom which has been hidden, which God predestined before the ages for our glory, 8 Which none of the rulers of this age have known; for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 9 But as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not come up in man's heart; things which God has prepared for those who love Him.''
