Bring a gift to offer to him in his temple. Worship the Lord, who is beautiful and holy. 30Everyone on earth must shake with fear in front of him. He has fixed the world in its place, so that nothing can shake it. 31The earth and the sky should be happy! The people of all nations should say, ‘The Lord rules as king!’
