1 Chronicles 16:21-31

21 But he did not let anyone hurt them; he warned kings not to harm them.

22 He said, "Don't touch my chosen people, and don't harm my prophets."

23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Every day tell how he saves us.

24 Tell the nations about his glory; tell all peoples the miracles he does.

25 The Lord is great; he should be praised. He should be respected more than all the gods.

26 All the gods of the nations are only idols, but the Lord made the skies.

27 He has glory and majesty; he has power and joy in his Temple.

28 Praise the Lord, all nations on earth. Praise the Lord's glory and power;

29 praise the glory of the Lord's name. Bring an offering and come to him. Worship the Lord because he is holy.

30 Tremble before him, everyone on earth. The earth is set, and it cannot be moved.

31 Let the skies rejoice and the earth be glad. Let people everywhere say, "The Lord is king!"
