The Lord is King.\par He wears majesty and strength like clothes.\par He is ready,\par so the whole world is safe.\par It will not be shaken (destroyed).\par
I was there when the Lord set the limits\par for water in the seas.\par The water can’t rise higher\par than the Lord allows.\par I was there when the Lord made\par the foundations of the earth.\par
But the Day when the Lord comes again will be a surprise like a thief. The sky will disappear with a loud noise. All the things in the sky will be destroyed with fire. And the earth and everything in it will be burned. {\cf2\super [13]}
The Lord raises poor people from the dust.
He takes away their sadness. [22] The Lord makes poor people important.
He seats them with princes
and at the places for honored guests.
The Lord made the whole world!
And the whole world belongs to him! [23]
