1 Chronicles 16:34
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.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
35 Then cry out: ‘Save us, O God of our salvation; gather and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.’
36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the LORD!”
