Col. 1:17

And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Psalm 47

Clap your hands, all peoples!

    Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

2 

For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared,

    a great king over all the earth.

3 

He subdued peoples under us,

    and nations under our feet.

4 

He chose our heritage for us,

    the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

5 

God has gone up with a shout,

    the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

6 

Sing praises to God, sing praises!

    Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

7 

For God is the King of all the earth;

    sing praises with a psalm![a]

8 

God reigns over the nations;

    God sits on his holy throne.

9 

The princes of the peoples gather

    as the people of the God of Abraham.

For the shields of the earth belong to God;    he is highly exalted!
