Praise and worship the Lord—He tests and tries men—Sacrifices to be offered in his house. |

1 MAKE a
ajoyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies asubmit themselves unto thee. 4 All the earth shall aworship theea, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. |
4a All the earth shall worship thee The day will come that all who have lived, all the world, past living, now living and yet to live; will come before our God Jehovah, even Jesus Christ, and every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that he is the one and only true God of Heaven and Earth. Not to the discredit of the Father but that through Him all glory be given to the Father. God the Father anointed and ordained his Firstborn Spirit Son Jehovah to act in His stead in all things. The Father had already passed through such as the Second Estate and obtained his exalted body. As such an advanced exalted being, the Father would not pass through the Second Estate again, which purpose it is to obtain a body of fleshand bones and be tested. The Father needed one from among us (Emmanuel) who was to pertain to this Estate to be his 'surrogate' or 'power of attorney' representative. Thus he bestowed upon his spirit son Jehovah the fulness of the powers of the Father to act as the God of this creation. And Jehovah, even Jesus Christ, was set forth to be our God of this Estate, our Mediator and Advocate with the Father. Thus Christ, Jehovah, is the Ministering God to this Second Estate from the eternity of the preexistence to that eternal Celestial eternity to come. He stand as the one and only way, the one and only God by whom we may come unto the Father and be redeemed from the fall. He is from all eternity to all eternity. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end to this the Second Estate, the God of this realm, giving all glory unto the Father though the positioned God of heaven and earth through the appointment of the Father to so act for and in behalf of the Father in all things pertaining to this Second Estate existence. That is the true order of heaven and earth. And Christ is our God, anointed by the Father to be so. | |

5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the asea into dry land: they went through the bflood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. |

|
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our afeet to bbe moved. |
||
|
10 For thou, O God, hast aproved
us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst aaffliction upon our loins. 12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through awater: but thou bbroughtest us out into a cwealthy place. |
||
|
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. |
||
|
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. |
||
|
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will
not ahear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. |
