1 Chronicles 16:31
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;
30 tremble before Him, all the earth. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, ‘The LORD reigns!’
32 Let the sea resound, and all that fills it; let the fields exult, and all that is in them.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth.
