Worship in the Splendor of Holiness

1 For ver. 1-13, see 1 Chr. 16:23-33Oh sing to the LordPs. 98:1;See Ps. 33:3a new song;

sing to the Lord, all the earth!

2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;

[Isa. 52:7;60:6]tell of his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his glory among the nations,

his marvelous works among all the peoples!

4 For See Ps. 48:1great is the Lord, and Ps. 18:3greatly to be praised;

he is to be feared above See Ps. 95:3all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,

but the LordPs. 115:15;Isa. 42:5;44:24;Jer. 10:12made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are before him;

[Ps. 78:61]strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the Lord, O Ps. 22:27families of the peoples,

See Ps. 29:1ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!

8 Ascribe to the LordPs. 29:2the glory due his name;

bring [Ps. 45:12]; See Ps. 68:29; 72:10an offering, and Ps. 100:4come into his courts!

9 Worship the Lord in See Ps. 29:2the splendor of holiness;96:9 Or in holy attire

Ps. 114:7tremble before him, all the earth!

10 Say among the nations, See Ps. 93:1"The Lord reigns!

Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;

he will ver. 13;See Ps. 9:8;58:11judge the peoples with equity."

11 Let See Ps. 69:34the heavens be glad, and let Ps. 97:1the earth rejoice;

let Ps. 98:7the sea roar, and all that fills it;

12 let [Isa. 35:1] the field exult, and everything in it!

Then shall all [Isa. 55:12]the trees of the forest sing for joy

13 before the Lord, for he comes,

for he comes See Isa. 11:1-9to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness,

and the peoples in his faithfulness.
