1 Chronicles 16:26-36

26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

27 Honor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.

28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the Lord in holy splendor;

30 tremble before him, all the earth. The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, "The Lord is king!"

32 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it.

33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.

34 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.

35 Say also: "Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather and rescue us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glory in your praise.

36 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting." Then all the people said "Amen!" and praised the Lord.
