            he will comfort all her waste places;

            thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

Psalms
As David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto
my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy
footstool. Luke 20:42-43

Is any merry? let him sing psalms. James 5:13

Make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. Psalm 95:2
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous
works. Psalm 105:2

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption. Acts 13:35


Example of a Psalm
O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who
hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the
enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou
art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have
dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things
under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the
field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and
whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Psalm 8:1b-9

Write ye this song for you that it may be a witness for me.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him,
and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with
my song will I praise him. Psalm 28:7

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his
vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.
Isaiah 5:1 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard
songs, even glory to the righteous. Isaiah 24:16a


The Song of Songs
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth (a kiss is a right
answer ... Proverbs 24:26): for "thy love" is better than wine
(wine is the wrath of God ... Revelation 14:10). Draw me, we will
run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we
will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more
than wine: the upright love thee. Song of Solomon 1:2, 4


The Song of Moses, and the Lamb
Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and
true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee,
O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all
nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are
made manifest. Revelation 15:3-4


Encouragement to Sing a New Song
Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise
in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that
made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let
them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him
with the timbrel and harp. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his
people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in
the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts:
praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with
the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed
instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise
him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath
breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 149:1-4, 150:6


Instruction for Creating a New Song
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For
the word of the Lord is right (righteousness); and all his works
are done in truth (judgment). He loveth righteousness and
judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. Psalm
33:3-5

Preparedness for Creating New Psalms (Hymns), and Songs
Be ye followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as
Christ also hath loved us, giving yourself for others an offering
and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as
children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all
goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is
acceptable unto the Lord.

Be filled with the Spirit; Speaking yourselves (Though I speak
with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am
become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1 Corinthians
13:1) in psalms (hymns) and spiritual songs, singing (making
melody "in your heart") to the Lord; ("Giving thanks always" for
all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ; "Submitting yourselves one to another" in the fear of
God). Ephesians 5:1-2, 8-10, 18b-21

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching (Teaching us, that we should live soberly, righteously,
and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope
... Titus 2:12-13) and admonishing (Count him not as an enemy,
but admonish him as a brother. 2 Thessalonians 3:15 See example:
Hebrews 8:5) one another in psalms (hymns) and spiritual songs,
singing (with grace "in your hearts") to the Lord. Colossians
3:16


Content of a New Song
O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the
earth.

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from
day to day (with every new song). Declare his glory among the
heathen, his wonders among all people. For the Lord is great, and
greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. Honour
and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his
sanctuary.

Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the
Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto
his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship
the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the
earth.

Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also
shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge
the people righteously.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea
roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all
that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth:
he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with
his truth. Psalm 96:1-4, 6-13


Spiritual Songs
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are
spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Galatians 6:1
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Ephesians 6:12

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 1
Corinthians 15:44a Which things also we speak, not in the words
which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with "spiritual". 1 Corinthians 2:13

All did eat the same spiritual meat; And all did drink the same
spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that
followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:3-4

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek
that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 1 Corinthians
14:12

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of
the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him
in love. Ephesians 1:3-4

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an
holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to
God by Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5

We do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be
filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in
the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to
his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with
joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us
meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. Colossians 1:9-13

shall acknowledge even to the end; As also ye have acknowledged

in the day of the Lord Jesus. 2 Corinthians 1:12-14

the four beasts, and the elders: saying, Thou art worthy to take
the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and

tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God
kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation
14:3a, 5:9-10
