Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.

How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.

I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.

Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him—his name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.

By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

It is written: ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’
