I heard a sound from heaven. It was like the roar of rushing waters and loud thunder. The sound I heard was like the music of harps being played.Then everyone sang a new song in front of the throne. They sang it in front of the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000. They had been set free from the evil of the earth.

Another 4,000 will guard the gates. And 4,000 will praise the Lord with the instruments of music I’ve provided for that purpose.”

Praise him by blowing trumpets. Praise him with harps and lyres.Praise him with tambourines and dancing. Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes.Praise him with clashing cymbals. Praise him with clanging cymbals.

Lord, it is good to praise you. Most High God, it is good to make music to honor you.It is good to sing every morning about your love. It is good to sing every night about how faithful you are.I sing about it to the music of the lyre that has ten strings. I sing about it to the music of the harp.
