For the Lord is a great God,

    and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth;

    the heights of the mountains are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it,

    and his hands formed the dry land.

 

Oh come, let us worship and bow down;

    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

For he is our God,

    and we are the people of his pasture,

    and the sheep of his hand.

 

Psalm 95:3-7

Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,

    that the mountains might quake at your presence—

as when fire kindles brushwood

    and the fire causes water to boil—

to make your name known to your adversaries,

    and that the nations might tremble at your presence!

 

Isiah 64:1-2

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.

Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,

    and cry to her

that her warfare[a] is ended,

    that her iniquity is pardoned,

that she has received from the Lord's hand

    double for all her sins.

 

Isiah 40:1-2
