Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.
Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. “Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
