Revelation ch.15:3,4PHB"And they sang the song of Moses the Servant of God and the song of The Lamb. They were saying: “Great and marvelous are your works, LORD JEHOVAH God Almighty. Just and true are your works, King of the universe.”Who will not reverence you, LORD JEHOVAH, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. Therefore, all the nations will come and will worship before you, because you are true.”"

I recently began a project of bookmarking translations that use divine name in the N.T . They're in the minority of course but they're out there.

Definitely a worthwhile project. I know they're rare but good to have.
