1 Chronicles 16:23–33

²³All you people of the earth, sing to the Lord.

Day after day tell about how he saves us.

²⁴Tell the nations about his glory.

Tell all people about the wonderful things he has done.

²⁵The Lord is great. He is really worthy of praise.

People should have respect for him as the greatest God of all.

²⁶All of the gods of the nations are like their statues.

They can’t do anything.

But the Lord made the heavens.

²⁷Glory and majesty are all around him.

Strength and joy can be seen in the place where he lives.

²⁸Praise the Lord, all you nations.

Praise the Lord for his glory and strength.

²⁹Praise the Lord for the glory that belongs to him.

Bring an offering and come to him.

Worship the Lord because of his beauty and holiness.

³⁰All you people of the earth, tremble when you are with him.

The world is firmly set in place. It can’t be moved.

³¹Let the heavens be filled with joy. Let the earth be glad.

Let them say among the nations, “The Lord rules!”

³²Let the ocean and everything in it roar.

Let the fields and everything in them be glad.

³³Then the trees in the forest will sing with joy.

They will sing to the Lord.

He will judge the people of the world.
