-- 40:7-10

Selah.  God has ascended with a shout, the LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.  Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.  For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a skillful psalm.  God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne.  The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham, for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted. -- 47:1-9

You speak and blameless when You judge. -- 51:1-4

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God," they are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice; there is
