TO HIS NAME
To His Name
"For look!
darkness will cover the earth
And thick gloom the nations;
But on you Jehovah will shine,
And on you his glory will be seen.
Nations will go to your light
And kings to your shining splendor."--
“To the brightness of your dawn.”
***
"Isaiah says: “There will be the root of Jesse,
(Jesus)
the one arising
to rule nations;
on him nations will rest their hope.”
"To him the nations will turn for guidance".
“The nations will search for him.”
For: "God has also granted to people of the nations
repentance leading to life.”"
Yes! "I will shake all the nations,
and the precious things of all the nations will come in;
and I will fill this house with glory,’
says Jehovah of armies."
"The little one will become a thousand
And the small one a mighty nation.
I myself, Jehovah, will speed it up in its own time.”"
Therefore: "if you publicly declare with your mouth
that Jesus is Lord,
and exercise faith in your heart
that God raised him up from the dead,
you will be saved."
"Many will look on in awe
And put their trust in Jehovah."
Many will: "Sing to Jehovah a new song,
For he has done wonderful things.
His right hand, his holy arm,
has brought about salvation."
All survivors will ring out after victory...
As for me: "I will declare your name to my brothers;
In the midst of the congregation I will praise you."
"The works of Jehovah are great;
They are studied
by all those finding pleasure in them."
"I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all your activity;
I eagerly ponder
over the work of your hands."
Yes! "The heavens
are declaring the glory of God;
The skies above
proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day their speech bubbles forth,
And night after night they reveal knowledge.
There is no speech,
and there are no words;
Their voice is not heard.
But into all the earth their sound has gone out,
And to the ends of the inhabited earth their message.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun;
It is like a bridegroom emerging from the bridal chamber;
It rejoices like a mighty man running his course.
It emerges from one end of the heavens,
And it circles to their other end;
And nothing is concealed from its heat."
"He has made the moon to mark the appointed times;
The sun well knows when to set."
"This is what Jehovah says,
Who gives the sun for light by day,
The laws of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea
and makes its waves boisterous,
Whose name is Jehovah of armies:"
“I myself am the One comforting you.
Why should you be afraid of a mortal man who will die
And of a son of man who will wither like green grass?
Why do you forget Jehovah your Maker,
The One who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundation of the earth?
And all day long you were in constant fear of the rage of the oppressor,
As though he were in a position to bring you to ruin.
Where, now, is the rage of the oppressor?
The one bent over in chains will soon be set free;
He will not die and go into the pit,
Nor will his bread be lacking.
But I am Jehovah your God,
Who stirs up the sea and makes its waves boisterous
—Jehovah of armies is his name.
I will put my words in your mouth,
And with the shadow of my hand I will cover you,
In order to plant the heavens and to lay the foundation of the earth
And to say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’"
So: "Through him
let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise,
that is, the fruit of our lips
that make public declaration
to his name."
"Praise Jah!
Praise God in his holy place.
Praise him
in the expanse of his strength."

“You are worthy,
Jehovah our God,
to receive the glory and the honor and the power,
because you created all things,
and because of your will
they came into existence and were created.”
