From Nehemiah 9

Blessed be your glorious name, O Lord our God, may it be exalted above all human worship and praise: you alone are the Lord - you made the skies and the universe beyond, you made the earth and all that is upon it, the sea and all that is in it; you give life to everything:
you are the Lord our God;
with the hosts of heaven we worship you. Amen.

O Lord, holy One, with all the hosts of heaven we praise your glory and power; we bow down to worship you in the splendour of your holiness. We hear your voice in the thunder, in all its power and majesty; we perceive your strength in the mighty forests and upon the jagged mountains. We sense your presence in the lightning flash and in the rumbling earthquake; you rule over the deep sea as king for ever, you give strength to your people and bless them with peace. And in your house everyone shouts aloud:
'Glory and praise to God!' Amen.

Lord God almighty, you bring low all pride and glory and humble those who are renowned in the earth, you stretch out your hand over the sea and make the nations tremble:
To you we raise our voices,
and shout for joy;
we acclaim your majesty,
we give you praise,
we exalt your name.

From the ends of the earth we sing:
'Glory to the righteous One!'

For you will reign among us for ever and ever. Amen.
