Psalm 96 v.11-13

Heaven and earth rejoice, some fresh praise begin

The seas, land, creation, and all that therein

Rejoice before the Lord, He comes to judge sure

With righteousness and truth, and holiness pure

 

Psalm 97 v.1-2

The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice and be glad

All creation join in, not stay ever sad

Clouds and darkness are round about Him, and see

Foundation of His throne righteous judgement be

 

Psalm 98 v.1-2

O sing unto the Lord a new song freely

For He has done great things, worked marvellously

By strength of His arm He has gained victory

Has made know His salvation, true, openly

 

Psalm 99 v.11

Exalt you the Lord God, and at His footstool*

\'Tis the earth, worship Him here, praise to Him all

For He is holy, praise Him in whate\'er place

You may be, what nation, what colour or race

* Heaven is seen as the place of God\'s throne,

and Earth as His footstool.
