Psalms 96:7
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.
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.
9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
