Proof that God Loves Christian Metal Music

Psalm 27:6 – “Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the Lord with music (NLT).”
Ps 33:3 – “Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts (ESV).”
Ps 98:4 - “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise (KJV).”
Psalm 144:9 – “I will sing a new song unto Thee, O God; upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee (21st Century KJV).”
Psalm 150:5 – “Praise him with a clash of cymbals; praise him with loud clanging cymbals (NLT).”

The Message

Ps 33:3 – “Good people, cheer God! Right-living people sound best when praising. Use guitars to reinforce your Hallelujahs! Play his praise on a grand piano! Invent your own new song to him; give him a trumpet fanfare (The Message).”
Psalm 47:1 – “Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo! Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs! God Most High is stunning, astride land and ocean. He crushes hostile people, puts nations at our feet. He set us at the head of the line, prize-winning Jacob, his favorite. Loud cheers as God climbs the mountain, a ram's horn blast at the summit. Sing songs to God, sing out! Sing to our King, sing praise! He's Lord over earth, so sing your best songs to God. God is Lord of godless nations— sovereign, he's King of the mountain. Princes from all over are gathered, people of Abraham's God. The powers of earth are God's— he soars over all (The Message).”
Psalm 144:9 – “O God, let me sing a new song to you, let me play it on a twelve-string guitar— A song to the God who saved the king, the God who rescued David, his servant (The Message).”
