- Ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.
- 29Ascribe unto the Lord the glory due unto His name;
- Bring an offering, and come before Him;

- And let them say among the nations: 'The Lord reigneth.'
- 32Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
- Let the field exult, and all that is therein;
- 33Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy,
- Before the Lord, for He is come to judge the earth.
- 34O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good;
- For His mercy endureth for ever.
- 35And say ye: 'Save us, O God of our salvation,
- And gather us together and deliver us from the nations,
- That we may give thanks unto Thy holy name,
- That we may triumph in Thy praise.'
- 36Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
- From everlasting even to everlasting.
- And all the people said: 'Amen, 'and praised the Lord.
