Confession and beauty are in his sight. Sanctity and magnificence are in his sanctuary.

7 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

8 Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

12 The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

The fields and all the things that are in them will be glad. Then all the trees of the forest will rejoice

13 Before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.

before the face of the Lord: for he arrives. For he arrives to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with fairness and the peoples with his truth.
