1 Chronicles 16:23-31

New International Version

²³Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
²⁴Declare his glory^(A) among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

²⁵For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^(B)
    he is to be feared^(C) above all gods.^(D)
²⁶For all the gods of the nations are idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.^(E)
²⁷Splendor and majesty are before him;
    strength and joy are in his dwelling place.

²⁸Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.^(F)
²⁹Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;^(G)
    bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his^[a] holiness.^(H)
³⁰    Tremble^(I) before him, all the earth!
    The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.^(J)

³¹Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;^(K)
let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!^(L)”
