How to worship God:

Psalm 33:1  Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. 2  Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. 3  Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.

3. Psalm 33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. 7  He gathers the waters of the sea into jars ; he puts the deep into storehouses. 8  Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. 9  For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
