4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Give unto the LORD, O all of you families of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigns: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 Before the LORD: for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
