23 Sing to the Lord, all the world!
    Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.
24 Proclaim his glory to the nations,
    his mighty deeds to all peoples.

25 The Lord is great and is to be highly praised;
    he is to be honored more than all the gods.
26 The gods of all other nations are only idols,
    but the Lord created the heavens.
27 Glory and majesty surround him,
    power and joy fill his Temple.

28 Praise the Lord, all people on earth,
    praise his glory and might.
29 Praise the Lord's glorious name;
    bring an offering and come into his Temple.
Bow down before the Holy One when he appears;[a]
30     tremble before him, all the earth!
The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.
31 Be glad, earth and sky!
    Tell the nations that the Lord is king.
32 Roar, sea, and every creature in you;
    be glad, fields, and everything in you!
33 The trees in the woods will shout for joy
    when the Lord comes to rule the earth.
