Whenever I get discouraged about how cruel and unjust this world can be, I remember that you, O Lord, are coming to judge the earth with righteousness and the peoples with equity. I worship you, O Christ, for you are the one appointed by God to judge the living and the dead(Psalm 98:9; Acts 10:42).

As all the earth breaks forth into joyous song and sings your praises, I too, O Lord my King, worship you with a loud and joyful noise. I rejoice with a joy that is inexpressible at the glory of Jesus Christ (Psalm 98:4-6; 1 Peter 1:8).

I worship you, Lord, for you have revealed your righteousness and remembered your steadfast love and faithfulness. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Thank you, Jesus, for bearing my sins on the cross, that I might die to sin and live in righteousness. By your wounds I have been healed(Psalm 98:2-3; 1 Peter 2:24).

I sing your praises anew, O Lord, for you have done marvelous things! In your awesome power, you have worked salvation and made your good news known.I praise you, Jesus, for you are the one God has exalted as Leader and Savior, to give repentance and forgiveness of sins (Psalm 98:1-2; Acts 5:31).

I worship you, O Lord, for you are most high over all the earth, exalted far above all other gods.I worship you, Jesus the Great High Priest, for you are completely holy, blameless, pure, uncompromised by sin, and exalted above the heavens. I rejoice in you, Lord, and give thanks to your holy name! (Psalm 97:9, 12; Hebrews 7:26).

I worship you, Lord, for the sheer magnificence of your presence: clouds and thick darkness are all around you; righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Fire goes before you and burns up your adversaries. Your lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before you. The heavens proclaim your righteousness, and all the people see your glory. All worshipers of idols are put to shame. For you alone, O Lord, possess immortality; you dwell in unapproachable light. To you be honor and eternal dominion (Psalm 97:2-7; 1 Timothy 6:16).

I rejoice, my heart is glad, and I worship you, Lord, for you indeed reign. The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he shall reign forever and ever (Psalm 97:1; Revelation 11:15).

Let the heavens be glad and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes. Praise God! For this is the blessed hope we long for—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ (Psalm 96:11-12; Titus 2:13).

I worship you, Lord, and proclaim that you indeed reign over all the nations. I give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign(Psalm 96:10; Revelation 11:17).

I worship you, Lord, in the splendor of holiness. All the earth trembles before you and I worship you with reverence and awe, for you, my God, are a great consuming fire (Psalm 96:9; Hebrews 12:28-29).
