After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God:
for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his {Greek: bondservants.}servants at her hand.
And a second time they {Greek: have said.}say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up {Greek: unto the ages of the ages.}for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah.
And a voice came forth from the throne, saying,Give praise to our God, all ye his {Greek: bondservants.}servants, ye that fear him, the small and the great.
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying,Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth.
Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.
And I fell down before his feet to {See marginal note on chapter 3:9}worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: {See marginal note on chapter 3:9}worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon {Some ancient authorities omit called.}called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself.
And he is arrayed in a garment {Some ancient authorities read dipped in.}sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the {Greek: winepress of the wine of the fierceness.}winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
And I saw {Greek: one.}an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God;
that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of {Or, military tribunes Greek: chiliarchs.}captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great.
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that {See marginal note on chapter 3:9}worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:
and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Vanity of Idols. {Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.Praise ye the name of Jehovah;Praise him, O ye servants of Jehovah,
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah,In the courts of the house of our God.
Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good:Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
For {Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself,And Israel for his own possession.
For I know that Jehovah is great,And that our Lord is above all gods.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done,In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;Who maketh lightnings for the rain;Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;
Who smote the first-born of Egypt,Both of man and beast;
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;
Who smote {Or, great}many nations,And slew mighty kings,
Sihon king of the Amorites,And Og king of Bashan,And all the kingdoms of Canaan,
And gave their land for a heritage,A heritage unto Israel his people.
Thy name, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;Thy memorial name, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
For Jehovah will judge his people,And repent himself concerning his servants.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold,The work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not;Eyes have they, but they see not;
They have ears, but they hear not;Neither is there any breath in their mouths.
They that make them shall be like unto them;Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah:O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah:Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion,Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. {Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart,In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
The works of Jehovah are great,Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
His work is honor and majesty;And his righteousness endureth for ever.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered:Jehovah is gracious and merciful.
He hath given {Hebrew: prey.}food unto them that fear him:He will ever be mindful of his covenant.
He hath showed his people the power of his works,In giving them the heritage of the nations.
The works of his hands are truth and justice;All his precepts are sure.
They are established for ever and ever;They are {Or, made}done in truth and uprightness.
He hath sent redemption unto his people;He hath commanded his covenant for ever:Holy and reverend is his name.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; {Or, Good repute}A good understanding have all they that do {Hebrew: them.}his commandments:His praise endureth for ever.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah,That delighteth greatly in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth:The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house;And his righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness:He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth;He shall maintain his cause in judgment.
For he shall never be moved;The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy;His righteousness endureth for ever:His horn shall be exalted with honor.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul.O Jehovah my God, thou art very great;Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment;Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;Who maketh the clouds his chariot;Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
Who maketh {Or, his angels winds}winds his messengers;Flames of fire his ministers;
{Hebrew: He founded the earth upon its bases.}Who laid the foundations of the earth,That it should not be moved for ever.
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture;The waters stood above the mountains.
At thy rebuke they fled;At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away
{Or, They went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys}(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down)Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;That they turn not again to cover the earth.
He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;They run among the mountains;
They give drink to every beast of the field;The wild asses quench their thirst.
By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;They {Hebrew: utter their voice.}sing among the branches.
He watereth the mountains from his chambers:The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,And herb for the {Or, labor}service of man;That he may bring forth {Hebrew: bread.}food out of the earth,
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, {Hebrew: To make his face to shine with oil.}And oil to make his face to shine,And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.
The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture,The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
Where the birds make their nests:As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.
The high mountains are for the wild goats;The rocks are a refuge for the conies.
He appointed the moon for seasons:The sun knoweth his going down.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night,Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
The young lions roar after their prey,And seek their food from God.
The sun ariseth, they get them away,And lay them down in their dens.
Man goeth forth unto his workAnd to his labor until the evening.
O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!In wisdom hast thou made them all:The earth is full of thy {Or, creatures}riches.
Yonder is the sea, great and wide,Wherein are things creeping innumerable,Both small and great beasts.
There go the ships;There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play {Or, with him See Job 41:5.}therein.
These wait all for thee,That thou mayest give them their food in due season.
Thou givest unto them, they gather;Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled;Thou {Or, gatherest in}takest away their breath, they die,And return to their dust.
Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created;And thou renewest the face of the ground.
Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever;Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:
Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth;He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live:I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
Let thy meditation be sweet unto him:I will rejoice in Jehovah.
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.And let the wicked be no more.Bless Jehovah, O my soul. {Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying,Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth.
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying,Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens:Praise him in the heights.
Praise ye him, all his angels:Praise ye him, all his host.
Praise ye him, sun and moon:Praise him, all ye stars of light.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,And ye waters that are above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah;For he commanded, and they were created.
He hath also established them for ever and ever:He hath made a decree {Or, which none shall transgress}which shall not pass away.
Praise Jehovah from the earth,Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps.
Fire and hail, snow and vapor;Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
Mountains and all hills;Fruitful trees and all cedars;
Beasts and all cattle;Creeping things and flying birds;
Kings of the earth and all peoples;Princes and all judges of the earth;
Both young men and virgins;Old men and children:
Let them praise the name of Jehovah;For his name alone is exalted;His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
And he hath lifted up {Or, a horn for his people. A praise for all his saints: Even for &c.}the horn of his people,The praise of all his saints;Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. {Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
{Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah is my strength and song,And he is become my salvation:This is my God, and I will praise him;My father's God, and I will exalt him.
