He is the Lord our God.
His justice is seen throughout the land.
Remember his covenant forever—
the commitment he made to a thousand
generations.
This is the covenant he made with
Abraham
and the oath he swore to Isaac.
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
and to the people of Israel as a
never-ending covenant:
“I will give you the land of Canaan
as your special possession.”
He said this when you were few in
number,
a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.
They wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
Yet he did not let anyone oppress them.
He warned kings on their behalf:
“Do not touch my chosen people,
and do not hurt my prophets.”
Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!
Each day proclaim the good news that
he saves.
Publish his glorious deeds among the
nations.
Tell everyone about the amazing things
he does.
Great is the Lord! He is most worthy
of praise!
He is to be feared above all gods.
The gods of other nations are mere idols,
but the Lord made the heavens!
Honor and majesty surround him;
strength and joy fill his dwelling.
O nations of the world, recognize the Lord,
recognize that the Lord is glorious and
strong.
Give to the Lord the glory he deserves!
Bring your offering and come into his
presence.
Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.
Let all the earth tremble before him.
The world stands firm and cannot
be shaken.
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth
rejoice!
Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
Let the sea and everything in it shout his
praise!
Let the fields and their crops burst out
with joy!
Let the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord,
for he is coming to judge the earth.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Cry out, “Save us, O God of our salvation!
Gather and rescue us from among
the nations,
so we can thank your holy name
and rejoice and praise you.”
Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,
who lives from everlasting to
everlasting!
And all the people shouted “Amen!” and
praised the Lord.

ROMANS 1:18‑32
But God shows his anger from heaven against
all sinful, wicked people who suppress the
truth by their wickedness.* 19 They know the
truth about God because he has made it ob
vious to them. 20 For ever since the world
was created, people have seen the earth and
sky. Through everything God made, they can
clearly see his invisible q
ualities—his eternal
power and divine nature. So they have no ex
cuse for not knowing God.
21 Yes, they knew God, but they
wouldn’t
worship him as God or even give him thanks.
And they began to think up foolish ideas of
what God was like. As a result, their minds
became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be
wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And
instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-
living God, they worshiped idols made to look
like mere people and birds and animals and
reptiles.
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever
shameful things their hearts desired. As a
result, they did vile and degrading things
with each other’s bodies. 25 They traded the
truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped
and served the things God created instead of
the Creator himself, who is worthy of eter
nal praise! Amen. 26 That is why God aban
doned them to their shameful desires. Even
the women turned against the natural way
to have sex and instead indulged in sex with
each other. 27 And the men, instead of having
normal sexual relations with women, burned
with lust for each other. Men did shameful
things with other men, and as a result of this
