1 Chronicles 16:24-34

24 Tell ye among heathen men his glory (Tell ye of his glory among the heathen); his marvels among all peoples.

25 For the Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; and he is horrible, that is, fearful, over all gods. (For the Lord is great, and worthy to be greatly praised; and he it is who should be feared/and it is he who should be revered, more than all the gods.)

26 For all the gods of (the) peoples be (but) idols; but the Lord made (the) heavens.

27 Acknowledging and great doing be before him; strength and joy be in the place of him. (Acknowledgement and great accomplishment, that is, honour and glory, be before him; strength and joy be in his dwelling.)

28 Ye families of peoples, bring ye to the Lord; bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.

29 Give ye the glory to his name, raise ye up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight; and worship ye the Lord in holy fairness. (Give ye the glory due to his name, raise ye up a sacrifice, and come ye before him; and worship ye the Lord in the beauty of holiness.)

30 All earth be moved from his face; for he hath founded the world unmoveable. (All the earth tremble before him; for he hath made the world immovable.)

31 (The) Heavens be glad, and the earth make full out joy; and say they among (the) nations, The Lord reign.

32 The sea thunder, and his fullness (Let the sea thunder, and all of its fullness); the fields fully joy they, and all things that be in those.

33 Then the trees of the forest shall praise before the Lord; for he cometh to deem the earth (for he cometh to judge the earth).

34 Acknowledge to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end. (Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is forevermore.)
