For the Lord is [a]great and much to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the people are [b]idols: but the Lord [c]made the heavens.

[d]Strength and glory are before him: power and beauty are in his Sanctuary.

Give unto the Lord, ye families of the people: give unto the Lord glory and [e]power.

Give unto the Lord the glory of his Name: bring [f]an offering, and enter into his courts.

Worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuary: tremble before him all the earth.
