We must solemnly address ourselves to that infinitely great and glorious Being with whom we have to do, as those who are possessed with a full belief of his presence and a holy awe and reverence of his Majesty, which we may do in such expressions as these:
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! Revelation 4:8 (ESV)
O you whose name is the LORD, who alone are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83:18 (ESV)
O God, you are our God, earnestly we seek you; Psalm 63:1(ESV) our God, and we will praise you; our fathers’ God, and we will exalt you. Exodus 15:2 (ESV)
O you who are the true God, the living God, the one only living and true God, 1 Thessalonians 1:9 (ESV) and the everlasting King! Jeremiah 10:10 (ESV) The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Deuteronomy 6:4 (ESV)
And may we thus distinguish ourselves from the worshipers of false gods.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, they are vanity and a lie, the work of human hands; Psalm 115:4 (ESV) those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them. Psalm 115:8 (ESV) But the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name, Jeremiah 10:16 (ESV) God over all, blessed forever. Romans 9:5 (ESV)
Their rock is not as our Rock; our enemies are by themselves, Deuteronomy 32:31(ESV) for he is the Rock of ages; the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock: Isaiah 26:4 (ESV) His name endures forever, and his renown throughout all ages, Psalm 135:13 (ESV) even when the gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.
