We did a complete study all the
way through the book of Psalms, 150 Psalms, and we studied this
Psalm about three years ago, but it's been one of my favorites
for many, many years. Psalm 146. I'm entitling the
message, Praise Ye the Lord. That's how the Psalm begins.
Notice verse 1, Praise the Lord, O my soul. And again, down in
verse 10, the Lord shall reign forever. He truly does. He reigns
forever. His dominion is an everlasting
dominion. He reigns supremely, sovereignly
over all things in heaven and in earth. He is the Lord our
God, the God of Jacob, O Zion. That's his church. That's where
he dwells. I've set my king upon my holy
hill, Zion. And all the saints of God, you
know what? They say hallelujah. Hallelujah
now and forever. Now and forever. In heaven's
glory they will sing hallelujah the Lord God Almighty reigns
forever and ever and ever. Now the last A couple Sundays
we've been considering the sovereign mercies of God given to Jacob. We studied from Genesis chapter
28 last week and the week before that, Genesis 32, where the God
of Jacob singled him out and blessed him abundantly, not because
Jacob was worthy, but rather because the God of Jacob is gracious. The God of Jacob is long-suffering. Notice verse 5, Psalm 146 verse
5, happy is he, and that word happy is blessed, blessed, blessed,
happy and blessed is that sinner. To have the God of Jacob, the
God of Jacob for his help, whose hope, whose hope, We have a good
hope, a good hope through grace, but our hope is not in our deeds,
our hope of salvation, not in our works, our church membership. Our hope of salvation is in the
Lord our God. We count everything else lost.
that we might win Christ and be found in Him. Praise ye the Lord. Now I understand that this phrase
here has been widely abused by this religious world, so much
so that it's been reduced to a mere meaningless religious
phrase and a slang word with no true substance, because it's
used in many circles in a way of contempt. We ought to use
great care in using the name of the Lord, lest we use the
name of the Lord in vain. When we talk about praising the
Lord, let us do it with reverence, because His name is called holy
and reverent is His name. We should never refer to any
other creature as reverend so-and-so, reverend Jones, reverend whatever. Because holy and reverend is
God's name. But I don't want to say that
we should never use this phrase, praise ye the Lord. It's all
the way through, all the way through the book of Psalms, David
says repeatedly. But it's done in a way of reverence.
It's done in a way of worship. It's done in a way of awe. The
Lord is high and lifted up. He's on His throne. And we as
sinners in the dust, we reverence His holy name. And we do sing
unto the Lord our God. Praise the Lord, O my soul. Now you can praise the Lord and
praise is worship, isn't it? You see, the Lord seeketh such
to worship him in spirit and in truth. You can worship the
Lord and not utter a word. You see, it's not what comes
out of the mouth. It's the attitude of the heart.
God looks on the heart. Praise the Lord, it says there,
oh my soul. Now, hold your place there and
look back over here, another favorite psalm of mine, Psalm
103. Psalm 103. Every believer has a desire to
worship the Lord, to praise and honor and to exalt the Lord,
not just with lip service, but in the heart, in the heart before
God. Psalm 103, Bless the Lord. Oh my soul, and all that is within
me, all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord,
oh my soul. And forget not all of his benefits,
benefits of grace. He's blessed us with all spiritual
blessing in the heavenlies in Christ. Now look what he says
in verse 3, Psalm 103 verse 3, who forgiveth all thine iniquities. Oh, I tell you, He's forgiven
all our sins. What does that excite in your
heart? Praise ye the Lord. He forgiveth all our iniquities,
so much so that it says in Hebrews 10, 17, their sin and their iniquity
will I remember no more. The Lord here healeth all our
diseases. Spiritual diseases with his stripes. We are healed you remember isaiah
53 Who redeemed our life from destruction he delivered us from
the penalty of our sin? Who's crowned thee with loving
kindness and tender mercy he satisfied our mouth with good
thing so that our youth is renewed like the eagles and He's given
us wings that we might fly and praise and honor Him. Now look
back to the text, Psalm 146. You see what he's saying? Praise
the Lord, O my soul, in my heart before God. Our Lord said to
those Pharisees, you draw nigh unto me with your lips, but your
heart is far from me. For in vain you do worship me,
teaching for doctrines and commandments of men. But we desire to really
honor and worship the Lord. Don't you, for a few moments
in your heart, this week, right now, don't you desire to worship
the Lord? To honor and esteem Him highly? for his work's sake. Look at
verse 2. Here's the believer's heart's
desire. Well, I live. I live by his grace. Don't we? I will, while I live, while I
have any being, I will praise the Lord, I will honor Him. I
will sing praises unto my God while I have any strength, any
being, any thought in my heart. Every believer is highly motivated
to worship the Lord and we have good reason to do so. He is our
life. In Him dwells all the fullness
of the Godhead bodily and we are complete in Him. He is our
life. I'm talking here not just about
physical life. He is our spiritual life. He is our spiritual strength. And we only have spiritual life
by the sovereign will and eternal purpose of God. It's in Him that
we live and move and have our being. While we have any being,
we have it by His will, don't we? And it's the believer's desire,
it's our heart desire to honor the Lord, to believe Him, to
worship Him. He's worthy of it, certainly
worthy of it. Now look at verse three. Put not your trust in princes.
He's talking here about earthly princes. Nor in any son of Adam
or the best of men in whom there is no salvation. That word help
is the word salvation. There is no salvation found in
any earthly prince or king or kingdom or government. I know
we have many people that are dependent upon the government,
our government. They think they're entitled to
certain things, but there is no salvation in any earthly government
or king. We look unto the Lord Jesus Christ.
Believers desire to worship the Lord, therefore we put no confidence
or faith in any flesh. We dare not trust the flesh. You know why? You know what it
says in Jeremiah 17? Cursed is everyone that trusteth
in the flesh. I don't want to trust that which
God says is cursed. I want to trust that which God
says is blessed. The Apostle writes in Philippians
3, We are the true Israel which worship God in the Spirit, that
rejoice in Christ Jesus, and we have no confidence in the
flesh, not yours, not mine. No confidence in the flesh that
salvation is anything by our fleshly deeds or doing, is it? Are you trusting something you've
done? Something you've given? Well,
if you are, you're lost. Because saving faith looks alone
to Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ. There
is no salvation in any earthly prince or king. There is salvation
in the Prince of Peace, in the King of Kings, who is the King
of Peace. There is salvation in Him, but
not in any other. You see, He made peace for us
with His own blood. Salvation is in Him. We are to
look unto Him, and that's what saving faith does. Saving faith
looks exclusively to the Lord Jesus Christ. Now verse four,
he gives us the reason why there is no salvation. Found in any
sinner by the deeds of the flesh, by the works of the law, his
breath goeth forth. What happens when your breath
is gone? Remember when you were a little kid, you used to hold
your breath? See how long you could hold your breath? Sometimes
we'd hold it so long we'd pass out. But when your breath is
gone, when God takes away the breath of life out of this body,
what happens? When the spirit goes back to
God who gave it, there's nothing but a lump of clay. You wouldn't
trust a lump of clay, would you? A frail, sinful flesh, all flesh
is grass. The reason we're not to trust
in any man or any flesh, his breath goeth forth. He returns
to his earth. God made one man out of the dust
and breathed into that man the breath of life and he became
a living soul. But when God takes that breath
of life away, what do we do? We return back to the dust. In
that very day, all of his plot, all of his planning, they all
perish. You see, all flesh is grass. Man in his best state is altogether
vanity. To trust in vanity is the height
of insanity. To trust yourself. His breath goes forth. He returned
to His earth in that very day all of His plans, everything
He was going to do, everywhere He was going to go, everything
He thought He should have said or written, it's all done, it's
perished. Look at verse 5, now happy, happy,
happy, happy is He. that hath the God of Jacob for
his help." You see, we're perishing sinners. The Lord is the eternal
God. Happy is he, happy is he, that
hath the God of Jacob for his salvation, whose hope and help
is in the Lord his God. Now, are you a happy man? Let's
see who the happy man is, the blessed man. Turn to Psalm 32.
Who is the happy man, the blessed man? Psalm 32. A lot of people
spend lots of dollars to try to find happiness. True happiness can't be bought
because true happiness is a gift of God. Who is that happy and
blessed man? Psalm 32. Blessed, happy is he
whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed
and happy is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity,
in whose spirit there is no God. That's a happy man. That's a
happy man. Turn over here to Psalm 65. Here's the happy man. Psalm 65. Look at verse 4, the happy man,
blessed, happy, Psalm 65 verse 4, is the man whom thou choosest
and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy
courts. We shall be satisfied with the
goodness of thy house, even thy holy temple. That's the happy
man that's chosen of God, that's caused of God to approach unto
him, unto the true and living God through Christ. Our Lord
said, no man can come unto me except the Father which sent
me. Draw him. Now look back at the text. Happy is that man who has the
God of Jacob. for his Savior, for his Lord,
whose hope is in the Lord his God. The Lord our God uses this
name more than any other, underscore these three words, God of Jacob. God of Jacob. You know he uses
this term, I looked it up, and it's found in the Word of God
26 times. The God of Jacob. The God of
Jacob. The God of Jacob. Happy is he
that hath the God of Jacob for his hope, his help, who is in
the Lord our God. Look back at verse 15 in Psalm
144. Psalm 144, happy is that people
that is such a cache, happy is that people whose God is the
Lord. Happy, happy. God of Jacob for
his help, whose hope is in the Lord our God. Now who is this
God of Jacob? We're going to see in verse 6,
7, 8, 9, and 10. The God of Jacob is the covenant
God. He's a covenant God, the God
of peace that brought again from the dead the Lord Jesus Christ
through the blood of the everlasting covenant. The God of Jacob is
a covenant God who redeemed the people with that everlasting
blood covenant of the Lord Jesus Christ. The God of Jacob is a
covenant God who's a covenant God who has covenant mercies,
the sure mercies of David. The God of Jacob is the covenant
God of love. You remember we read in Romans
chapter 9, Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated, that the purpose
of God according to election might stand. The God of Jacob
is the God of covenant love. The God of Jacob is the God of
covenant mercy. The God of Jacob is the God of
sovereign mercy. I will have mercy on whom I will
have mercy. The God of Jacob is a God of
covenant relationship. You remember in Jeremiah 32,
God says, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
I will, salvation is by God's will, because God has will to
have a people, they shall believe the gospel, they shall come unto
me. And the God of Jacob is a God
of covenant salvation. Covenant salvation. Now let's
turn and read that one time. I told you to turn to 1st Samuel
in the beginning. Now find 2nd Samuel. 2nd Samuel
23. 2nd Samuel 23. When David is
about to die and on his deathbed, You remember his last words?
These be the last words of David. He talked about covenant mercy,
covenant salvation. Verse 5, 2 Samuel 23, 5. Although
my house be not so with God. David had many sons who were
rebels against him. You remember the sad story of
Absalom, Adonijah and others. Yet he had made with me an everlasting
covenant There's that eternal covenant of grace. This covenant
of grace is ordered in all things. God had decreed salvation for
his people. It's ordered in all things. And
because God had decreed salvation by this covenant mercy, it's
ordered in all things and it is certain. It is sure. And then David said, this is
all my salvation. Covenant mercy, the covenant
of grace. This is all my salvation. This
is all my desire. Covenant mercy, covenant love,
covenant sacrifice. Although he make it not to grow,
this covenant of grace does not change. does not change. I planted these poplar trees
out here about 20 years ago and they were just about as big as
my index finger. They were just little old things
and I planted them and every year they change, they change,
they change. They grow, they grow, they grow
and they change. You see, our God does not change. Our God does not grow, although
He makes it not to grow. The covenant of grace doesn't
change, it doesn't grow. It's the same from everlasting
to everlasting. Everything else around us changes,
doesn't it? I was a young man when I came here, 41 years old.
Now I'm almost 64. I've changed a lot. I've grown
old, my hair's turned white. It's about all gone. I'm wrinkled
up, stooped, bent over, and my joints ache all over. I've changed. God doesn't change. He said,
I'm the Lord, I've changed, not therefore you sons of Jacob are
not consumed. Aren't you glad he doesn't change?
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And this God of
Jacob, in who there is no change, He's all our help. You see that? Who needs help? This sinner needs
help. The Lord's all my help. He's all my help. Now, I often
think of this scripture When I think about help, turn to Psalm
46. Psalm 46, verse 1. God is our refuge. Talk about the God of Jacob.
God who is God. God is our refuge and strength
of every present help in trouble. He's our help right now. Present
help. He's present help. He's the present
help right now. He's the help that we need right
now. Think of another scripture. Psalm
55, 22. Turn over there. Psalm 55, 22.
You see, He is our help. Psalm 55, 22. Cast thy burden
upon the Lord. He shall sustain thee. He shall
never suffer the righteous to be moved. Who are the righteous?
Those in Christ. Those made righteous in Christ.
You see, he told us to come boldly unto the throne of grace that
we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Obtain mercy, not earn mercy.
Obtain mercy. Find grace to help in time of
need. He is our help. He is our salvation. Look back to the text again.
Happy and blessed is that man who knows the God of Jacob. Covenant God. Covenant sacrifice. He's our help and he's our hope. He's our hope. Now, is he some
of our hope? Most of our hope. He's all my
desire. He's all my hope. He's all my
salvation. You see, we have a good hope
through grace. The Lord has given us an everlasting
consolation and a good hope. We have a good hope. Based upon
the foundation that He has laid in Christ, we have a good hope. It's an everlasting hope, but
it's a good hope through grace. a good hope through grace. You
see, Christ in you is the hope of glory, isn't it? Christ is
our hope. Now look at verse 5 again. Happy
is he that hath the God of Jacob, the covenant God, the God that
does not change, the sovereign God, God who is God, Blessed
is that man whose hope is in the Lord his God, whose help
and hope is in the Lord his God. What's he like? God is not who
we think He is. He's who He is, as He's revealed
in Holy Scripture. Many times in Scripture He said,
I am the Lord, beside Me there is none other. There is none
like the God of Israel. There's none like the God of
Jacob. Well, what's He like? What do you think? Aren't you
glad you're not left to your thoughts? God said, you thought
I was altogether such a one as yourself. God's not who we think
He is. He's who He is as He's revealed
in this book. Verse 6 down to verse 10, He
describes Himself. Look at verse 6. First of all,
we see this. He's the one who said in the
beginning, let there be light. He's the creator of all things.
He spake and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast. The Lord spake everything and
created everything, spoke everything into existence by the word of
His power. He said, let it be and it was
so. Only God can create. Now we may take some things that
He's created and build a house or build a building, but we don't
create anything. God is the only one that can
create. He created the heaven and He
created the earth. He created the sea. Everything
that crawls and creeps and runs, every bug, every insect, every
fish, everything in the sea, the multiplied millions and millions
and millions of creatures. Think of the billions and billions
of the stars. He knows all the stars by name. He created them for His glory,
for His power. He is a God who creates all things. You cannot be a believer and
believe in evolution. You cannot be a believer and
believe in evolution. Believers believe that what the
book says, God created the heavens and the earth. He made the heavens,
He made the earth, the sea, and all that therein is. He's the
creator of all things, the sustainer of all things. on the 21st of
December, weíre going to change that first day of winter, that
winter solstice. You know what comes every year
at the same time? The tilt of the earth and then
it tilts back the other way. How does all that happen? I mean,
you know, it just happens, doesnít it? The sun comes up, the sun
goes down. I mean, how does all that happen?
He has all things and all things consist by the word of His power. This earth, gravity, they talk
about the law of gravity. God is a God of gravity. These
laws of physics only exist because God decreed them to be so. He's a God that created all things
by the word of His power. And then secondly, he says here,
he keepeth truth forever. Everything the Lord speaks is
absolutely true and eternal. Never needs to be updated. Never
needs to be changed. The Lord keepeth truth forever.
Truth never changes. Truth can be trusted. Truth can
be believed. Forever, O Lord, thy word is
settled in heaven. Heaven and earth will pass away,
His truth will never pass away. He keepeth truth. Now when I
see that word truth, you know what I think of? Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ said, I
am the way, I am the truth. Christ is the truth that sets
us free. He is the true and living God.
He is truth and He keeps truth forever. The Lord Jesus Christ
is the eternal God, our Savior. That's the God of Jacob. Look
at verse 7 in our text. The Lord our God, the God of
Jacob, the creator of the heavens and the earth, the keeper of
truth, He executes judgment. Does he have the right? Shall
not the judge of all the earth do right? The Lord executes judgment
and justice for those who are oppressed. His covenant people
were oppressed with their sin. And think about this, he judged
our sin in himself. And He gives us His righteousness. He executed judgment. The judgment for our sin oppressed
him, a man of sorrow acquainted with grief. Why? Because of our
sin. God made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might
be made the righteousness of God in him. You see, God executed
judgment upon my substitute, Jesus Christ. That's the only
way God can be a just God and Savior. He executed judgment
for our sin upon his Son. It pleased the Lord to bruise
him in our stead, in our room. And then it says in verse seven,
he executed judgment for the oppressed. And the God of Jacob, he gives
food. He gives food to the hungry. When do you eat? When do you
enjoy food the most? When you really enjoy food the
most, not when you're full, you enjoy food the most when you're
hungry. When you're hungry, you want
to eat, don't you? The Lord gives food to His hungry
people. You see, the Lord Himself, He
is our food. We feed upon him. Taste and see,
the psalmist said, taste and see that the Lord is gracious. He is our food. The good shepherd,
he does feed his sheep, doesn't he? You see, he's the water of
life. If any man thirsty, what does
a thirsty man do? Drink. If any man thirsty, the
Lord said, come unto me and drink. If any man's hungry, he said,
I'm the bread of life. He's the milk of the Word, He's
the meat of the Word, which giveth food to the hungry. And think about this as the Lord
supplies our every need in Christ. Look at the last part of verse
7, talking about the description of the God of Jacob. God of Jacob, the covenant God,
who loves his people, who died for his people. You know what
he does? He comes and he liberates his people. He looseth the prisoner. You see, our sin had us held
in captivity and bondage. The Lord Jesus Christ, he came
to set us free. Turn to Luke chapter 4. Turn over there to Luke chapter
4. Luke chapter 4. That's exactly the reason the
Lord came. We were in bondage to our sin,
we were under the curse of the law, had no way to set ourselves
free, we were dead in sin, prisoners, dead, and you know what the Lord
did? The Lord came, look at Luke chapter
4 verse 18. This is why He came, He came
to set the captive free. Luke chapter 4, verse 18. The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor. This is the fulfillment of Isaiah
61. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach
the acceptable year of the Lord, And He said, this day is this
scripture fulfilled in your ears. He came to set us free. This is a faithful saying and
worthy of all acceptation that the Lord Jesus Christ came to
save sinners. And He set us free by His grace.
Who can do that? Only the Lord can do that. Look
at verse 8, furthermore this is a description of the God of
Jacob, who is the Lord God our Savior. Verse 8 he says here,
the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. You see by nature, We
don't see at all. We're blind. We can't see the
glory of God that shines in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord opens our eyes. God
who commanded the light to shine out of darkness has shined in
our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of Jesus Christ. How does He open our blinded
eyes? He gives us light. that we might
see His glory. And the Lord does this. The Lord,
this is the Lord's doing and it's marvelous in our eyes. The
Lord opens the eyes of the blind. I can't open anybody's eyes. It's the Lord that opens the
eyes of those who were blind. I once was blind but now I see. As John Deuton said, look at
verse 8 again. It's the Lord, it's the Lord
which made heaven and earth. It's the Lord which keepeth truth.
It's the Lord which executes judgment. It's the Lord that
feeds His hungry people. It's the Lord that looses the
prisoner. It's the Lord that opens the blind eye. It's the
Lord that raises up them that are bowed down. You see, the
Lord loveth the righteous. The Lord raises up them that
are bowed down. He's nigh unto them of a broken
heart. Save us such as be of a contrite spirit. The Lord raises
them up. Turn over here to Psalm 113.
How the Lord do all these things. You see what he's saying there
is this. Our salvation is of the Lord. That says that plainly,
doesn't it? This is the God of Jacob. Happy
is that man who has the God of Jacob. for his hope, his help,
his salvation. Psalm 113. Look at verse 7. Look at verse 4. Psalm 113. Verse
4, the Lord is high above all nations, His glory above the
heavens, who is likened to the Lord our God, who dwelleth on
high, who humbleth Himself to behold the things that are in
heaven and in earth. He raises up the poor out of
the dust, He lifted the needy the beggar out of the dunghill,
that he may set him with princes, even the princes of the people."
Well, that's the same thing that Hannah prayed, isn't it? The
Lord raises up the beggar from a dunghill and makes us princes
unto our God, princes unto our King. Look at Psalm 145, verse
14. The Lord upholdeth all that fall. The Lord raises up those that
be bowed down. We're only bowed down by His
grace. Those who are bowed by His grace
are raised by His grace. The Lord raises up that beggar
from the dunghill to make him a prince and king unto our God. And the Lord does that because
He loves His people. Look at verse 8, the last line. The Lord loveth. He loveth the
righteous. God loves us in Christ who is
the Lord our righteousness. The love of God is found where? Where is it found? He loved his
people with an everlasting love. We're called the beloved. My
beloved is mine and I am his. The Lord loveth the righteous. The love of God is revealed in
the Lord Jesus Christ. The love of God is found in the
Lord Jesus Christ. There is no love apart, there
is no love of God apart from where it is found, in Christ. And He's loved His people with
an everlasting love. Jacob have I loved, Esau have
I hated. Oh that we might win Christ and
be found in Him who is the Lord our righteousness. Look at verse
9. You see, it's the Lord that preserves
us. Where does He find us? He finds
us dead, blind, empty, and He fills us, He raises us up, He
makes us new creatures in Christ Jesus, and then He preserves
us. By nature, we're strangers without
God, without hope, and without Christ. He makes us His sons. But oh, what manner of love the
Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called sons of God.
And the Lord preserves us. He preserves us. We're kept by
His power. Kept by power through faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord preserves us by His
grace. and takes us all the way to glory. There's none going to perish
for whom the Lord preserves. They can't. You see, the Lord
preserves His people. He loves the righteous. He opens
their eyes. He raises them from the dead.
He's executed our sin in Himself. He keeps truth forever. He created
heaven and the earth. How can we fail? You see, this
is the Lord's doing. And it's marvelous in our eyes.
This is the God of Jacob in whom we trust. He relieveth, verse
9, the fatherless and the widow. But the way of the wicked, the
way of the wicked, he turns upside down. To the widow, to the believing
widow, Christ is our husband. To the believing orphan, Christ
is our Father. We're sons of God by His grace. But, but, you see verse 9? But, but, the way of the wicked,
he turns upside down. Now what is the way of the wicked?
There is a way that seems right unto men. There is a way that
seems right on demand. The end of that way is death.
The way of the wicked is to trust something other than Christ. Anything or anyone or anything
other than the Lord Jesus Christ and trusting that anyone or anything
other than Christ, that's wicked. That's wicked. The way of the
wicked, he will turn upside down. Right at the top of the page,
Psalm 145 verse 20, The Lord preserveth all them that love
Him, we love Him because He first loved us, but all the wicked
He will destroy. Oh, may God give us grace. He that believeth on the Son
hath life, he that believeth not the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abides on him. Now look at verse 10 in
closing. The Lord shall reign forever. How long is He going to be God? From everlasting to everlasting,
thou art God. He's always been God, eternal,
sovereign, holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. The Lord shall
reign forever, even thy God, the God of Jacob, O Zion, unto
all generations. Now what do you say about that?
Well, that ain't fair. That ain't right. That doesn't
seem right to me. What does the believer say? What
does that say there? Praise ye the Lord. The believer rejoices that his
Lord is God, the King of all the earth, King of kings, the
Lord of lords. We read in Isaiah 52, how beautiful
upon the mountain or the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings,
that publish peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publish
salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth." He reigns. He reigns. A voice came out of
the throne saying, Praise our God, all ye servants, and all
ye that fear Him, both small and great, Revelation 19, and
I heard, as it were, a voice of great multitude, and as the
voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering
sang, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praise the Lord, for the Lord
God omnipotent reigneth. He reigns. The God of Jacob reigns. He's our God. He's our Savior.
