Psalms in Worship—Psalm 34:1–10, 22 With Revelation 7:9–17

John: 

After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands.  They cried out in a loud voice, saying, 
 

Multitude:

“Salvation belongs to our God 
who is seated on the throne 
and to the Lamb!” 
 

Congregation:

I will bless the Lord at all times;
    his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
    let the humble hear and be glad.
 

John: 

And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing, 
 

Angels:

“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and might
be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” 

Or sing, 

“Here from All Nations” stanza 5 ^{Revelation 7:12, Christopher Idle}
 

Congregation:

O magnify the Lord with me,
    and let us exalt his name together.
 

John: 

Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, 
 

Elder:

“Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?”
 

John: 

 I said to him, 
“Sir, you are the one who knows.” 

Then he said to me, 
 

Elder:

“These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; 
 

Congregation:

I sought the Lord, and he answered me
    and delivered me from all my fears.
 

Elder: 

they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 
 

Congregation:

Look to him, and be radiant,
    so your faces shall never be ashamed.
 

Elder:

For this reason they are before the throne of God
    and worship him day and night within his temple,
 

Congregation:

This poor soul cried and was heard by the Lord
    and was saved from every trouble.
 

Elder:

 and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. 
 

Congregation:

The angel of the Lord encamps
    around those who fear him and delivers them.
 

Elder:

They will hunger no more and thirst no more; 
 

Congregation:

O taste and see that the Lord is good;
    happy are those who take refuge in him.
 

Elder:

the sun will not strike them, 
 

Congregation:

O fear the Lord, you his holy ones,
    for those who fear him have no want.
 

Elder:

nor any scorching heat, 
 

Congregation:

The young lions suffer want and hunger,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
 

Elder:

for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd,
    and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” 
 

Congregation:

The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
    none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. 
 

ALL:

“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and might
be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
