Let Your people rejoice and bring You praise and great glory through their works. May Your everlasting praise be as a two-edged sword in the hands of Your people. For it is written:
“Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.” – Psalm 149:5-9
O Lord, let Your people bring You praise. Let them bring praise unto You in song. Let them praise You in the dance. Let Your people write new songs for Your continually. Let all artists bring You praise and great glory. Let the master painters paint masterpiece after masterpiece to bring You glory. Let the poets rejoice and bring You praise and glory through their craft. Let the master builders erect monuments to You to glorify Your kingdom.
Let Your people sing together in harmony in the great congregation, that we might be together as one, serving You, the one true God.
O Lord, I await the day when Heaven is established upon the earth; when the New Jerusalem is established as the renewed Garden of Eden. What a glorious day that will be. There shall be peace on earth and we will be able to fully praise and glorify You with all of our talents, in whatever medium that may be, bringing great glory to Your kingdom.
