Clapping In Church

To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you <FI>with<Fi> singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.

Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,

For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy clapping the hand, And of thy stamping with the foot, And thou rejoicest with all thy despite in soul Against the ground of Israel, — read the full passage →

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify <FI>it<Fi> , having sent through his messenger to his servant John,

and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'

Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They have hissed--and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: `Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?'

I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

for God did so love the world, that His Son--the only begotten--He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. — read the full passage →

There is no weakening of thy destruction, Grievous <FI>is<Fi> thy smiting, All hearing thy fame have clapped the hand at thee, For over whom did not thy wickedness pass continually?

For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy clapping the hand, And of thy stamping with the foot, And thou rejoicest with all thy despite in soul Against the ground of Israel,

according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!

My prayer is prepared--incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands--the evening present.

I did write to the assembly, but he who is loving the first place among them--Diotrephes--doth not receive us;

Salute you doth the <FI>assembly<Fi> in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.

(and if any one his own house <FI>how<Fi> to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)

this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord--the assembly,

The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also <FI>are<Fi> the wives to their own husbands in everything.

to Him <FI>is<Fi> the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.

for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,

so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;

for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe <FI>it<Fi> ,

of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly--these cause ye to sit;

and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ.

And I commend you to Phebe our sister--being a ministrant of the assembly that <FI>is<Fi> in Cenchrea--

and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly,

and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;

`And if he may not hear them, say <FI>it<Fi> to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as the heathen man and the tax-gatherer.

They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

Lift up your hands <FI>in<Fi> the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah.

For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.

It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from his place.

and he bringeth out the son of the king, and putteth on him the crown, and the testimony, and they make him king, and anoint him, and smite the hand, and say, `Let the king live.'

Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him,

Lo, he doth come with the clouds, and see him shall every eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen!

it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach,

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

for he who is speaking in an <FI>unknown<Fi> tongue--to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'

And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints. — read the full passage →

Shout to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing.

For Jehovah Most High <FI>is<Fi> fearful, A great king over all the earth.

and Ezra blesseth Jehovah, the great God, and all the people answer, `Amen, Amen,' with lifting up of their hands, and they bow and do obeisance to Jehovah--faces to the earth.
