1 Chronicles 16:29-39

29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; 1Worship the LORD in holy array.
30 Tremble before * Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.
31 2Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, "3The LORD reigns."
32 4Let the sea roar, and all it contains; Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before * the LORD; For He is coming to judge the earth.
34 5O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
35 6Then say, "Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name, And glory in Your praise."
36 7Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people 8said, "Amen," and praised the LORD.
