Praise Him Alone

For great is the Lord and worthy of great praise.
He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are “nothings,”[a]
but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him.
Power and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe to the Lord, families of peoples,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and power.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name.
Bring a gift and come into his courtyards.
Bow down to the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.[b]
Look away from his face,[c] all the earth.
