4 For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

6 Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

12 Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

13 Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
