New testament psalms

While the Psalms are a book in the Old Testament, there are several passages in the New Testament that are similar in style and content to the Psalms. Here are a few examples:

  1. Hebrews 13:15 - "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name."
  2. Revelation 5:9-10 - "And they sang a new song, saying: 'You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.'"
  3. Luke 24:50-53 - "When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. It was there in the presence of the Lord Jesus that he gave them his commandment: 'Make an offering to the Lord your God of your substance. Select from your cattle and sheep, and sacrifice the Lord your God, who chose you and made you holy, for he loves you and brought you out of the land of slavery.'"
  4. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 - "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 'Death has been swallowed up in victory.'"
  5. Philippians 2:5-11 - "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

These passages are not necessarily psalms in the classical sense, but they do share some similarities with the Psalms in terms of their poetic language, emotional intensity, and spiritual themes.
