1 Chronicles 16:27-37

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!"

32 Let the sea and everything in it shout; let the fields and everything in them rejoice.

33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord. They will sing because he is coming to judge the world.

34 Thank the Lord because he is good. His love continues forever.

35 Say to him, "Save us, God our Savior, and bring us back and save us from other nations. Then we will thank you and will gladly praise you."

36 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel. He always was and always will be. All the people said "Amen" and praised the Lord.

37 Then David left Asaph and the other Levites there in front of the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord. They were to serve there every day.
