Sing to the LORD, all the world! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.

The LORD is great and is to be highly praised; he is to be honored more than all the gods.

Bow down before the Holy One when he appears; tremble before him, all the earth!

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The power to rule over the world belongs now to our Lord and his Messiah, and he will rule forever and ever!"

When he spoke, the world was created; at his command everything appeared.

The LORD is king. He is clothed with majesty and strength. The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.

Let them all praise the name of the LORD! He commanded, and they were created;

by his command they were fixed in their places forever, and they cannot disobey.

The LORD says to his people, "When the time comes to save you, I will show you favor and answer your cries for help. I will guard and protect you and through you make a covenant with all peoples. I will let you settle once again in your land that is now laid waste.

The LORD made the earth by his power; by his wisdom he created the world and stretched out the heavens.

Christ existed before all things, and in union with him all things have their proper place.

He reflects the brightness of God's glory and is the exact likeness of God's own being, sustaining the universe with his powerful word. After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power.
