¹¹ Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

¹² So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

²⁵ See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned `them' on earth, much more `shall not' we `escape' who turn away from him that `warneth' from heaven:

²⁸ Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe:

²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

⁷ A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him?

¹ Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah; Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

² Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

³ For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods.

⁴ In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also.

⁵ The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.

⁶ Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:

⁷ For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!

⁸ Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

¹ Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad.

¹ Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth `above' the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

¹¹⁹ Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: Therefore I love thy testimonies.

¹²⁰ My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; And I am afraid of thy judgments.

¹ Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

² For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.
