Praise the LORD with harp; sing psalms unto him with the lute and instrument of ten strings. Sing unto the LORD a new song; sing praises lustily unto him, and with a good courage.

How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my righthand forget her cunning.

Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the praise of God.

As every man hath received the gift, minister the same one to another as good ministers of the manifold grace of God.
