Worship song bible study

 

Here are some excellent worship and praise passages to God in the scriptures, many of which are not Psalms, which of course are the best of the bunch of them. The first one I am using in this study is the one in Exodus 15, where the children of Israel are celebrating after they were delivered from Egypt across the suddenly dry Red Sea, and also the Pharaoh and his army’s sudden destruction when the Red Sea came back to its place after God moved it out of the way to enable the Israelites to cross on dry land in the middle of the sea:

(Exodus 15:1)  Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying, "I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

(Exodus 15:20)  Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing.

 

(Exodus 15:21)  And Miriam sang to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."

 

Here is the song of Deborah, in praise of God over their victory over their enemies:

(Judges 5:1)  Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day:

 

(Judges 5:2)  "That the leaders took the lead in Israel, that the people offered themselves willingly, bless the LORD!

 

(Judges 5:3)  "Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; to the LORD I will sing; I will make melody to the LORD, the God of Israel.

(Judges 5:14)  From Ephraim their root they marched down into the valley, following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen; from Machir marched down the commanders, and from Zebulun those who bear the lieutenant's staff;

 

(Judges 5:15)  the princes of Issachar came with Deborah, and Issachar faithful to Barak; into the valley they rushed at his heels. Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

 

Here is the song that Hanna sung to praise God after she made a prayer in the first chapter of the book:

(1 Samuel 2:1)  And Hannah prayed and said, "My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in the LORD. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.

 

(1 Samuel 2:2)  "There is none holy like the LORD; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.

 

(1 Samuel 2:3)  Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

 

(1 Samuel 2:4)  The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble bind on strength.

 

(1 Samuel 2:5)  Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn.

 

(1 Samuel 2:6)  The LORD kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up.

 

(1 Samuel 2:7)  The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts.

 

(1 Samuel 2:8)  He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and on them he has set the world.

 

(1 Samuel 2:9)  "He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail.

 

(1 Samuel 2:10)  The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the power of his anointed."

 

David sang this song of praise when he was delivered from Saul, who attempted to kill him several times in the bible:

(2 Samuel 22:1)  And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.

 

(2 Samuel 22:2)  He said, "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

 

(2 Samuel 22:3)  my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.

 

(2 Samuel 22:4)  I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

 

(2 Samuel 22:5)  "For the waves of death encompassed me, the torrents of destruction assailed me;

 

(2 Samuel 22:6)  the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.

 

(2 Samuel 22:7)  "In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears.

 

(2 Samuel 22:8)  "Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry.

 

(2 Samuel 22:9)  Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him.

 

(2 Samuel 22:10)  He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.

 

(2 Samuel 22:11)  He rode on a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.

 

(2 Samuel 22:12)  He made darkness around him his canopy, thick clouds, a gathering of water.

 

(2 Samuel 22:13)  Out of the brightness before him coals of fire flamed forth.

 

(2 Samuel 22:14)  The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.

 

(2 Samuel 22:15)  And he sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning, and routed them.

 

(2 Samuel 22:16)  Then the channels of the sea were seen; the foundations of the world were laid bare, at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

 

(2 Samuel 22:17)  "He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.

 

(2 Samuel 22:18)  He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

 

(2 Samuel 22:19)  They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.

 

(2 Samuel 22:20)  He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

 

(2 Samuel 22:21)  "The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.

 

(2 Samuel 22:22)  For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.

 

(2 Samuel 22:23)  For all his rules were before me, and from his statutes I did not turn aside.

 

(2 Samuel 22:24)  I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt.

 

(2 Samuel 22:25)  And the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.

 

(2 Samuel 22:26)  "With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;

 

(2 Samuel 22:27)  with the purified you deal purely, and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.

 

(2 Samuel 22:28)  You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.

 

(2 Samuel 22:29)  For you are my lamp, O LORD, and my God lightens my darkness.

 

(2 Samuel 22:30)  For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.

 

(2 Samuel 22:31)  This God--his way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.

 

(2 Samuel 22:32)  "For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?

 

(2 Samuel 22:33)  This God is my strong refuge and has made my way blameless.

 

(2 Samuel 22:34)  He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.

 

(2 Samuel 22:35)  He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

 

(2 Samuel 22:36)  You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your gentleness made me great.

 

(2 Samuel 22:37)  You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip;

 

(2 Samuel 22:38)  I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, and did not turn back until they were consumed.

 

(2 Samuel 22:39)  I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise; they fell under my feet.

 

(2 Samuel 22:40)  For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.

 

(2 Samuel 22:41)  You made my enemies turn their backs to me, those who hated me, and I destroyed them.

 

(2 Samuel 22:42)  They looked, but there was none to save; they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.

 

(2 Samuel 22:43)  I beat them fine as the dust of the earth; I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.

 

(2 Samuel 22:44)  "You delivered me from strife with my people; you kept me as the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.

 

(2 Samuel 22:45)  Foreigners came cringing to me; as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.

 

(2 Samuel 22:46)  Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses.

 

(2 Samuel 22:47)  "The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,

 

(2 Samuel 22:48)  the God who gave me vengeance and brought down peoples under me,

 

(2 Samuel 22:49)  who brought me out from my enemies; you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from men of violence.

 

(2 Samuel 22:50)  "For this I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations, and sing praises to your name.

 

(2 Samuel 22:51)  Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever."

 

Here is another song of praise and thanksgiving by David as well as a prayer for Solomon, his son and successor to the throne of Israel:

(1 Chronicles 29:10)  Therefore David blessed the LORD in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: "Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:11)  Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:12)  Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:13)  And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:14)  "But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:15)  For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:16)  O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:17)  I know, my God, that you test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:18)  O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people, and direct their hearts toward you.

 

(1 Chronicles 29:19)  Grant to Solomon my son a whole heart that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, performing all, and that he may build the palace for which I have made provision."

 

Isaiah chapter 12 has a nice song praising God

(Isaiah 12:1)  You will say in that day: "I will give thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, that you might comfort me.

 

(Isaiah 12:2)  "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation."

 

(Isaiah12:3)  With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

 

(Isaiah 12:4)  And you will say in that day: "Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.

 

(Isaiah 12:5)  "Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth.

 

(Isaiah 12:6)  Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."

 

Here is one of Habakkuk, a song/prayer

(Habakkuk 3:1)  A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.

 

(Habakkuk 3:2)  O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.

 

(Habakkuk 3:3)  God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. Selah

 

(Habakkuk 3:4)  His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power.

 

(Habakkuk 3:5)  Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels.

 

(Habakkuk 3:6)  He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered; the everlasting hills sank low. His were the everlasting ways.

 

(Habakkuk 3:7)  I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

 

(Habakkuk 3:8)  Was your wrath against the rivers, O LORD? Was your anger against the rivers, or your indignation against the sea, when you rode on your horses, on your chariot of salvation?

 

(Habakkuk 3:9)  You stripped the sheath from your bow, calling for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.

 

(Habakkuk 3:10)  The mountains saw you and writhed; the raging waters swept on; the deep gave forth its voice; it lifted its hands on high.

 

(Habakkuk 3:11)  The sun and moon stood still in their place at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.

 

(Habakkuk 3:12)  You marched through the earth in fury; you threshed the nations in anger.

 

(Habakkuk 3:13)  You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, laying him bare from thigh to neck. Selah

 

(Habakkuk 3:14)  You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors, who came like a whirlwind to scatter me, rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.

 

(Habakkuk 3:15)  You trampled the sea with your horses, the surging of mighty waters.

 

(Habakkuk 3:16)  I hear, and my body trembles; my lips quiver at the sound; rottenness enters into my bones; my legs tremble beneath me. Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon people who invade us.

 

(Habakkuk 3:17)  Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls,

 

(Habakkuk 3:18)  yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

 

(Habakkuk 3:19)  GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.

 

Here is Mary’s song of praise and thanksgiving to God after Elizabeth, John the Baptist’s mother, filled with the Holy Spirit exclaimed how blessed she is due to who was in her womb(namely, Jesus)

(Luke 1:46)  And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,

 

(Luke 1:47)  and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

 

(Luke 1:48)  for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;

 

(Luke 1:49)  for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

 

(Luke 1:50)  And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.

 

(Luke 1:51)  He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;

 

(Luke 1:52)  he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate;

 

(Luke 1:53)  he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

 

(Luke 1:54)  He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,

 

(Luke 1:55)  as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever."

 

Here are some verses of worship in Revelation in various chapters. The  first one is when Jesus is about to open the seals of the scroll that nobody else could open or even look on the scene

(Revelation 5:8)  And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

 

(Revelation 5:9)  And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,

 

(Revelation 5:10)  and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

 

(Revelation 5:11)  Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

 

(Revelation 5:12)  saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!"

 

(Revelation 5:13)  And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!"

 

(Revelation 5:14)  And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped.

 

These verses of praise come in chapter 11 when the seventh and final trumpet sounded:

(Revelation 11:15)  Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever."

 

(Revelation 11:16)  And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

 

(Revelation 11:17)  saying, "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign.

 

(Rev elation11:18)  The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth."

 

These two verses occur in Chapter 15 just before the bowls of God’s wrath are about to be poured out on the earth:

(Revelation 15:3)  And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations!

 

(Revelation 15:4)  Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."

 

These verses in chapter 19 occur just before the marriage supper of the lamb and even speak of it

(Revelation 19:1)  After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

 

(Revelation 19:2)  for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

 

(Revelation 19:3)  Once more they cried out, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up forever and ever."

 

(Revelation 19:4)  And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"

 

(Revelation 19:5)  And from the throne came a voice saying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great."

 

(Revelation 19:6)  Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

 

(Revelation 19:7)  Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;

These are the songs and such to worship a God who deserves all the worship and praise for like Psalm 136 states, His steadfast love does indeed endure forever. He does love so much. He sent His Son Jesus to die for all of our sins, on the cross, wanting to restore a relationship broken by sin. It is easy to establish or to come back to any relationship. I am concluding this with a prayer which anyone can pray to restore any lost relationship or to start a new relationship with Jesus who longs for this. Please pray this with me.

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

God bless you and yours
