To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.

And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights!

Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light!

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

"Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"

"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

The LORD reigns; Let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad!

Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.

Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.

The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The LORD is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved.

Your throne [is] established from of old; You [are] from everlasting.

Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns; The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously."

The LORD reigns; Let the peoples tremble! He dwells [between] the cherubim; Let the earth be moved!

I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever.

(For the LORD [is] our Judge, The LORD [is] our Lawgiver, The LORD [is] our King; He will save us);

And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
