Psalms 96:4
2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.
