When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

Jesus came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives. There the whole crowd of disciples began to praise God with joy. In loud voices they praised him for all the miracles they had seen. They shouted,

As he was drawing near— already on the way down the Mount of Olives— the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,

Now he came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

And as soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;

Now He came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

As he approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen:

As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives across the valley from the Temple. Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him privately and asked him,

On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:“ Israel’s leaders took charge, and the people gladly followed. Praise the Lord!“ Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you mighty rulers! For I will sing to the Lord. I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.“ Lord, when you set out from Seir and marched across the fields of Edom, the earth trembled, and the cloudy skies poured down rain.The mountains quaked in the presence of the Lord, the God of Mount Sinai— in the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.“ In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, and in the days of Jael, people avoided the main roads, and travelers stayed on winding pathways.There were few people left in the villages of Israel— until Deborah arose as a mother for Israel.When Israel chose new gods, war erupted at the city gates. Yet not a shield or spear could be seen among forty thousand warriors in Israel!My heart is with the commanders of Israel, with those who volunteered for war. Praise the Lord!“ Consider this, you who ride on fine donkeys, you who sit on fancy saddle blankets, and you who walk along the road.Listen to the village musicians gathered at the watering holes. They recount the righteous victories of the Lord and the victories of his villagers in Israel. Then the people of the Lord marched down to the city gates.“ Wake up, Deborah, wake up! Wake up, wake up, and sing a song! Arise, Barak! Lead your captives away, son of Abinoam!“ Down from Tabor marched the few against the nobles. The people of the Lord marched down against mighty warriors.They came down from Ephraim— a land that once belonged to the Amalekites; they followed you, Benjamin, with your troops. From Makir the commanders marched down; from Zebulun came those who carry a commander’s staff.The princes of Issachar were with Deborah and Barak. They followed Barak, rushing into the valley. But in the tribe of Reuben there was great indecision.Why did you sit at home among the sheepfolds— to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks? Yes, in the tribe of Reuben there was great indecision.Gilead remained east of the Jordan. And why did Dan stay home? Asher sat unmoved at the seashore, remaining in his harbors.But Zebulun risked his life, as did Naphtali, on the heights of the battlefield.“ The kings of Canaan came and fought, at Taanach near Megiddo’s springs, but they carried off no silver treasures.The stars fought from heaven. The stars in their orbits fought against Sisera.The Kishon River swept them away— that ancient torrent, the Kishon. March on with courage, my soul!Then the horses’ hooves hammered the ground, the galloping, galloping of Sisera’s mighty steeds.‘ Let the people of Meroz be cursed,’ said the angel of the Lord.‘ Let them be utterly cursed, because they did not come to help the Lord— to help the Lord against the mighty warriors.’“ Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. May she be blessed above all women who live in tents.Sisera asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a bowl fit for nobles, she brought him yogurt.Then with her left hand she reached for a tent peg, and with her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera with the hammer, crushing his head. With a shattering blow, she pierced his temples.He sank, he fell, he lay still at her feet. And where he sank, there he died.“ From the window Sisera’s mother looked out. Through the window she watched for his return, saying,‘ Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why don’t we hear the sound of chariot wheels?’“ Her wise women answer, and she repeats these words to herself:‘ They must be dividing the captured plunder— with a woman or two for every man. There will be colorful robes for Sisera, and colorful, embroidered robes for me. Yes, the plunder will include colorful robes embroidered on both sides.’“ Lord, may all your enemies die like Sisera! But may those who love you rise like the sun in all its power!” Then there was peace in the land for forty years.

The next day, the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city. A large crowd of Passover visitorstook palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted,“ Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hail to the King of Israel!”

As Jesus and the disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the town of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead.

Great fear swept the crowd, and they praised God, saying,“ A mighty prophet has risen among us,” and“ God has visited his people today.”

Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus, praising God. And all who saw it praised God, too.

David appointed the following Levites to lead the people in worship before the Ark of the Lord— to invoke his blessings, to give thanks, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel.Asaph, the leader of this group, sounded the cymbals. Second to him was Zechariah, followed by Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed edom, and Jeiel. They played the harps and lyres.The priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, played the trumpets regularly before the Ark of God’s Covenant.On that day David gave to Asaph and his fellow Levites this song of thanksgiving to the Lord:

He stood and in a loud voice blessed the entire congregation of Israel:“ Praise the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the wonderful promises he gave through his servant Moses.

The entire assembly worshiped the Lord as the singers sang and the trumpets blew, until all the burnt offerings were finished.Then the king and everyone with him bowed down in worship.King Hezekiah and the officials ordered the Levites to praise the Lord with the psalms written by David and by Asaph the seer. So they offered joyous praise and bowed down in worship.

He led them to Baalah of Judah to bring back the Ark of God, which bears the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, who is enthroned between the cherubim.They placed the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it from Abinadab’s house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, Abinadab’s sons, were guiding the cartthat carried the Ark of God. Ahio walked in front of the Ark.David and all the people of Israel were celebrating before the Lord, singing songs and playing all kinds of musical instruments— lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.But when they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand and steadied the Ark of God.

Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord:“ I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!Pharaoh’s chariots and army he has hurled into the sea. The finest of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea.The deep waters gushed over them; they sank to the bottom like a stone.“ Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O Lord, smashes the enemy.In the greatness of your majesty, you overthrow those who rise against you. You unleash your blazing fury; it consumes them like straw.At the blast of your breath, the waters piled up! The surging waters stood straight like a wall; in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard.“ The enemy boasted,‘ I will chase them and catch up with them. I will plunder them and consume them. I will flash my sword; my powerful hand will destroy them.’But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.“ Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?You raised your right hand, and the earth swallowed our enemies.“ With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home.The peoples hear and tremble; anguish grips those who live in Philistia.The leaders of Edom are terrified; the nobles of Moab tremble. All who live in Canaan melt away;terror and dread fall upon them. The power of your arm makes them lifeless as stone until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people you purchased pass by.You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain— the place, O Lord, reserved for your own dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.The Lord will reign forever and ever!”

When the builders completed the foundation of the Lord’s Temple, the priests put on their robes and took their places to blow their trumpets. And the Levites, descendants of Asaph, clashed their cymbals to praise the Lord, just as King David had prescribed.With praise and thanks, they sang this song to the Lord:“ He is so good! His faithful love for Israel endures forever!” Then all the people gave a great shout, praising the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s Temple had been laid.But many of the older priests, Levites, and other leaders who had seen the first Temple wept aloud when they saw the new Temple’s foundation. The others, however, were shouting for joy.The joyful shouting and weeping mingled together in a loud noise that could be heard far in the distance.

Then his people believed his promises. Then they sang his praise.Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done! They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!

Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

So all Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant with shouts of joy, the blowing of rams’ horns and trumpets, the crashing of cymbals, and loud playing on harps and lyres.

And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of what God had done for the people, for everything had been accomplished so quickly.

“ But the third servant brought back only the original amount of money and said,‘ Master, I hid your money and kept it safe.
