Psalm 98:1-7 (ESV) Make a Joyful Noise to the LORD

. A Psalm. 98 Oh 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 known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. 3

He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! 5

Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! 6

With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD! 7

2 Chronicles 5:2-14 (ESV) The Ark Brought to the Temple 2

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

3 And all the men of

Israel assembled before the king at the feast that is in the seventh month. 4

And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

5 And they brought up the

ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up.

6 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who

had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

7 Then the priests brought the ark of the

covenant of the LORD to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.

8 The cherubim spread out their wings

over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles.

9 And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the Holy

Place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from outside. And they are

[a] there to this day.

10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that

Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

11 And when the priests came out of the Holy Place (for

all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves, without regard to their divisions,

12 and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, their sons and

kinsmen, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with 120 priests who were trumpeters;

13 and it was the duty of the trumpeters and

singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the LORD), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the LORD,

“For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever,”

the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, 14

so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God. Footnotes: a. 2 Chronicles 5:9 Hebrew it is

Benediction – (Colossians 3:12-17): Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
