19. Then God’s people were few in number.They were strangers in the land.
20. They went from one nation to another.They went from one kingdom to another.
21. But the Lord did not let anyone hurt them.He warned kings not to harm them.
22. He said, “Don’t hurt my chosen people.Don’t harm my prophets.”
23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth.Every day tell how he saves us.
24. Tell the nations about the Lord’s glory.Tell all peoples about his wonderful works.
25. The Lord is great; he should be praised.He should be honored more than all the gods.
26. All the gods of the nations are only idols.But the Lord made the skies.
27. The Lord has glory and majesty.He has power and joy in his Temple.
28. Praise the Lord, all nations on earth.Praise the Lord’s glory and power.
29. Praise the Lord for the glory of his name.Bring your offering to him.Worship the Lord because he is holy.
30. The whole earth should tremble before the Lord.The earth is set, and it cannot be moved.
31. Let the skies rejoice and the earth be glad.Let people everywhere say, “The Lord is king!”
32. Let the sea and everything in it shout.Let the fields and everything in them show their joy.
33. Then the trees of the forest will sing.They will sing with joy before the Lord.They will sing because the Lord is coming to judge the world.
34. Thank the Lord because he is good.His love continues forever.
