For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth!
The worthless idols of my life take but do not give; they demand but do not share; they consume but do not feed; they are constructs of my self-will and my compulsion to be my own god.
But You, O Lord, are the servant God, the one who came and assumed the body of man, to become the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. All praise and honor to You, the Holy One, the God of splendor and majesty, of glory and might; the exalted One.
