Psalms 66:2
1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.
4 All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah
