Psalm 95:1-7; 96:9,13
O come, let us sing unto the Lord;*
let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;*
and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God;*
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are all the corners of the earth;*
and the strength of the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it;*
and his hands prepared the dry land.
O come, let us worship and fall down,*
and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For he is the Lord our God;*
and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;*
let the whole earth stand in awe of him.
For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth;*
and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth.
