Judges 5:1-31
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day:“ That the leaders took the lead in Israel, that the people offered themselves willingly, bless the Lord!“ Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; to the Lord I will sing; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.“ Lord, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens dropped, yes, the clouds dropped water.The mountains quaked before the Lord, even Sinai before the Lord, the God of Israel.“ In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned, and travelers kept to the byways.The villagers ceased in Israel; they ceased to be until I arose; I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel.When new gods were chosen, then war was in the gates. Was shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the Lord.“ Tell of it, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets and you who walk by the way.To the sound of musicians at the watering places, there they repeat the righteous triumphs of the Lord, the righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel.“ Then down to the gates marched the people of the Lord.“ Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, break out in a song! Arise, Barak, lead away your captives, O son of Abinoam.Then down marched the remnant of the noble; the people of the Lord marched down for me against the mighty.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;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.Why did you sit still among the sheepfolds, to hear the whistling for the flocks? Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why did he stay with the ships? Asher sat still at the coast of the sea, staying by his landings.Zebulun is a people who risked their lives to the death; Naphtali, too, on the heights of the field.“ The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; they got no spoils of silver.From heaven the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.The torrent Kishon swept them away, the ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. March on, my soul, with might!“ Then loud beat the horses’ hoofs with the galloping, galloping of his steeds.“ Curse Meroz, says the angel of the Lord, curse its inhabitants thoroughly, because they did not come to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.“ Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, of tent-dwelling women most blessed.He asked for water and she gave him milk; she brought him curds in a noble’s bowl.She sent her hand to the tent peg and her right hand to the workmen’s mallet; she struck Sisera; she crushed his head; she shattered and pierced his temple.Between her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell— dead.“ Out of the window she peered, the mother of Sisera wailed through the lattice:‘ Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?’Her wisest princesses answer, indeed, she answers herself,‘ Have they not found and divided the spoil?— A womb or two for every man; spoil of dyed materials for Sisera, spoil of dyed materials embroidered, two pieces of dyed work embroidered for the neck as spoil?’“ So may all your enemies perish, O Lord! But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.” And the land had rest for forty years.

Revelation 21:12-22
It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed—on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal.He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement.The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass.The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

Revelation 19:1-7
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,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.”Once more they cried out,“ Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying,“ Amen. Hallelujah!”And from the throne came a voice saying,“ Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.”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.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;

2 Samuel 22 1-2 Samuel 22 51
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.He said,“ The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,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.I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.“ For the waves of death encompassed me, the torrents of destruction assailed me;the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.“ 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.“ Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry.Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him.He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.He rode on a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.He made darkness around him his canopy, thick clouds, a gathering of water.Out of the brightness before him coals of fire flamed forth.The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.And he sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning, and routed them.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.“ He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support.He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.“ The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.For all his rules were before me, and from his statutes I did not turn aside.I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt.And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.“ With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;with the purified you deal purely, and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness.For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.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.“ For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?This God is my strong refuge and has made my way blameless.He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your gentleness made me great.You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip;I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, and did not turn back until they were consumed.I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise; they fell under my feet.For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.You made my enemies turn their backs to me, those who hated me, and I destroyed them.They looked, but there was none to save; they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.I beat them fine as the dust of the earth; I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.“ 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.Foreigners came cringing to me; as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses.“ The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,the God who gave me vengeance and brought down peoples under me,who brought me out from my enemies; you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from men of violence.“ For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing praises to your name.Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever.”

Exodus 15:2-21
The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.“ Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea, and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.The floods covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power, your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries; you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up; the floods stood up in a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.The enemy said,‘ I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them. I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’You blew with your wind; the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.“ Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them.“ You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.The peoples have heard; they tremble; pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed; trembling seizes the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone, till your people, O Lord, pass by, till the people pass by whom you have purchased.You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain, the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.The Lord will reign forever and ever.”For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea.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.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.”
