Shout for joy to our God, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;
make music to our God with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn-
shout for joy before our God, the Ruler.
(Psalm 98:4-6, NIV)

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
