22 ‘Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!’ 23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Proclaim His salvation day after day. 24 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples. 25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. 26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens. 27 Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling. 28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; 30 tremble before Him, all the earth. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. 31 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, ‘The LORD reigns!’ 32 Let the sea resound, and all that fills it; let the fields exult, and all that is in them. 33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth.

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation! 2 Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song. 3 For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods. 4 In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him. 5 The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. 6 O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. 7 For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice, 8 do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness, 9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work. 10 For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.” 11 So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”

20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

1 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness. 3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. 5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire. 8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!” 10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever. 11 The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.

1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake! 2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples. 3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy! 4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob. 5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy! 6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered. 7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them. 8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds. 9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.

1 Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises. 2 I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else. 3 On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul. 4 All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth. 5 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great. 6 Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar. 7 If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.
