¹¹ Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

¹² So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

²⁵ See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

²⁸ If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:

²⁹ For our God is an all-burning fire.

⁷ God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.

¹ O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.

² Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.

³ For the Lord is a great God, and a great King over all gods.

⁴ The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his.

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

⁶ O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.

⁷ For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!

⁸ Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;

¹ The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

¹ The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

¹¹⁹ All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word.

¹²⁰ My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions.

¹ Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

² And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.
