1 Chronicles 16:27

25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling.

28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
