Psalms 96:4
2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
