Psalm 92 : 1ab, 1c-2, 5
The Lord reigns, robed in majesty; the Lord is girded with strength.
The world now is firm, it cannot be moved. Your throne stands from long ago, o Lord, from all eternity You are.
Your decrees can be trusted; holiness dwells in Your house day after day without end, o Lord.

Psalm 18 : 2-3, 4-5
The heavens declare the glory of God; the firmament proclaims the work of His hands. Day talks it over with day; night hands on the knowledge to night.
No speech, no words, no voice is heard – but the call goes on throughout the universe, the message is felt to the ends of the earth.

Jeremiah 1 : 4-10
A word of YHVH came to me, “Even before I formed you in the womb I have known you; even before you were born I had set you apart, and appointed you a prophet to the nations!”
I said, “Ah, Lord YHVH! I do not know how to speak; I am still young!” But YHVH replied, “Do not say; ‘I am still young,’ for now you will go whatever be the mission I am entrusting to you, and you will speak of whatever I command you to say. Do not be afraid of them, for I will be with you to protect you – it is YHVH who speaks!”
Then YHVH stretched out His hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “Now. I have put My words in your mouth. See! Today I give you authority over nations and over kingdoms, to uproot and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”

Psalm 88 : 4-5, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34
You said, “I have made a covenant with David, My chosen one; I have made a pledge to My servant. I establish his descendants forever; I build his throne for all generations.”
I will keep My covenant firm forever, and My love for him will endure. His dynasty will last forever, and his throne as long as the heavens.
If his sons forsake My law and fail to follow My decrees, if they violate My statutes and do not keep My commandments.
I will punish their crime with the rod and their offenses with the scourge; yet I will not withdraw My love from him, nor will I withdraw My faithfulness.

Psalm 96 : 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7
The Lord reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the distant islands be glad. Clouds and darkness surround Him; justice and right are His throne.
Fire goes before Him, burning His foes on every side. His lightning lights up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His justice, all peoples see His glory.
Shame on worshippers of idols, on those proud of their worthless images. Let all spirits bow before Him.

Matthew 5 : 33-37
You have also heard that people were told in the past : Do not break your oath; an oath sworn to the Lord must be kept. But I tell you this : do not take oaths. Do not swear by the heavens, for they are God’s throne, nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
Do not even swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white and black. Say yes when you mean yes, and say no when you mean no. Anything else you say comes from the devil.

Psalm 102 : 1-2, 11-12, 19-20ab
Bless the Lord, my soul; all my being, bless His holy Name! Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget His kindness.
As the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His love for those fearing Him; as far as east is from the west, so far does He remove from us our sins.
The Lord has set His throne in heaven; He rules, He has power everywhere. Praise the Lord, all you His angels.

Psalm 46 : 2-3, 4-5, 6-7
Clap your hands, all you peoples; acclaim God with shouts of joy. For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared, He is a great King all over the earth.
God ascends amid joyful shouts, the Lord amid trumpet blasts. Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
God is King of all the earth; sing to Him a hymn of praise. For God now rules over the nations, God reigns from His holy throne.
