discover." (NAS)

praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our
King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the
earth; sing praises with a skillful psalm. God

throne. The princes of the people have assembled
themselves as the people of the God of Abraham; for
the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly
exalted." (NAS)

dost forgive them. How blessed is the one whom Thou
dost choose, and bring near to Thee to dwell in Thy
courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of
Thy house, Thy holy temple. By awesome deeds Thou
dost answer us in righteousness, O God of our
salvation, Thou who art the trust of all the ends of
the earth and of the farthest sea; Who dost
establish the mountains by His strength, being
girded with might; Who dost still the roaring of the
seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of
the peoples. And they who dwell in the ends of the
earth stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou dost make the
dawn and the sunset shout for joy. Thou dost visit
the earth, and cause it to overflow; Thou dost
greatly enrich it; the stream of God is full of
water; Thou dost prepare their grain, for thus Thou
dost prepare the earth. Thou dost water its furrows
abundantly; Thou dost settle its ridges; Thou dost
soften it with showers; Thou dost bless its growth.
Thou hast crowned the year with Thy bounty, and Thy
paths drip with fatness. The pastures of the
wilderness drip, and the hills gird themselves with
rejoicing. The meadows are clothed with flocks, and
the valleys are covered with grain; they shout for
joy, yes, they sing." (NAS)

the creatures of the wilderness. Thou didst break

earth; Thou hast made summer and winter." (NAS)

above all those who are around Him? O LORD God of
hosts, who is like Thee, O mighty LORD? Thy
faithfulness also surrounds Thee. Thou dost rule the
swelling of the sea; when its waves rise, Thou dost
still them. Thou thyself didst crush Rahab like one
who is slain; Thou didst scatter Thine enemies with
Thy mighty arm. The heavens are Thine, the earth
also is Thine; the world and all it contains, Thou
hast founded them. The north and the south, Thou
hast created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at
Thy name. Thou hast a strong arm; Thy hand is
mighty, Thy right hand is exalted. Righteousness and
justice are the foundation of Thy throne;
lovingkindness and truth go before Thee. How blessed
are the people who know the joyful sound! O LORD,
they walk in the light of Thy countenance. In Thy
name they rejoice all the day, and by Thy

earth; who makes lightnings for the rain; who brings
forth the wind from His treasuries. He smote the
first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast. He sent
signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, upon
Pharaoh and all his servants. He smote many nations,
and slew mighty kings, Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of
Canaan; And He gave their land as a heritage, a

wonderful works, I will meditate. And men shall
speak of the power of Thine awesome acts; and I will

joyfully of Thy righteousness. The LORD is gracious
and merciful; slow to anger and great in
lovingkindness. The LORD is good to all, and His
mercies are over all His works. All Thy works shall
give thanks to Thee, O LORD, and Thy godly ones
shall bless Thee. They shall speak of the glory of

wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress
the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is
known about God is evident within them; for God made
it evident to them. For since the creation of the
world His invisible attributes, His eternal power
and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being
understood through what has been made, so that they
are without excuse. For even though they knew God,
they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but
they became futile in their speculations, and their
foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise,
they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the
incorruptible God for an image in the form of
corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals
and crawling creatures." (NAS)

And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the
foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the
works of Thy hands; They will perish, but Thou
remainest; and they all will become old as a
garment, And as a mantle Thou wilt roll them up; as
