Shout for joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his
praise glorious.
-Psalm 66:1-2
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s
special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called
you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people,
but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but
now you have received mercy.
--1 Peter 2: 9-10
I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my
deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the
horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
