⁴ For the Lord is great and is highly praised;
he is feared above all gods.^(E)
5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.^(F)
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.^(G)

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.^(H)
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;^(I)
bring an offering and enter his courts.^(J)
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;^(K)
let the whole earth tremble before him.^(L)

¹⁰ Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.^(M)
The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken.^(N)
He judges the peoples fairly.”^(O)
11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
let the sea and all that fills it resound.^(P)
12 Let the fields and everything in them celebrate.
Then all the trees of the forest will shout for joy^(Q)
13 before the Lord, for he is coming—
for he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness
and the peoples with his faithfulness.^(R)
