Psalms 96:6
4 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.
Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.
