Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;tremble before him, all the earth! Say among the nations, "The Lord reigns!Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;he will judge the peoples with equity." (ESV)...

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! (ESV)...

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. (ESV)...

Oh sing to the Lord a new song;sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless his name;tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations,his marvelous works among all the peoples! (ESV)...

- looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (ESV)...

Therefore, since we are surrounded by sogreat a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight,and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurancethe race that is set before us (ESV)...

The steps of a man are established bythe LORD, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shallnot be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand. (ESV)...

Commit your way to the LORD;trust in him, and he will act.He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,and your justice as the noonday. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. ...

"Fret not yourself because of evildoers; benot envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like thegrass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and dogood; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delightyourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of yourheart." (ESV)...

"For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." (ESV)...
