1 Chronicles 16:26-36

26 For all the gods of the people [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

27 Glory and honor [are] in his presence; strength and gladness [are] in his place.

28 Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.

29 Give to the LORD the glory [due] to his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let [men] say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

32 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that [is] therein.

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

34 O give thanks to the LORD; for [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, [and] glory in thy praise.

36 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
