O come, let us sing unto the Lord, let us

him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God,

and a great King above all Gods. (psalm 95, 1-3)

kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is

the Lord our God, and we are the people of

his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. (Psalm 95,6-7)

Glory and worship are before him, power and

honour are in his sanctuary. (Psalm 96, 6)

Tell it out among the heathen, that the Lord is

King, and that he made the world so fast it

cannot be moved. (psalm 96, 10)

O magnify the Lord, and worship him upon his

holy hill, for the Lord our God is holy. (Psalm 99, 9)

The Lord preserveth the souls of the saints, he

shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly. (Psalm 97, 10)

For look, as high as the heaven is in

comparison of the earth, so great is his mercy

towards them that fear him. (Psalm 103, 11)

There is sprung up a light for the righteous,

and joyful gladness for such as are true-hearted. (Psalm 97-11)

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous!
