If they come to their senses, are sorry for what they’ve done, and plead with you in the land where they are captives, saying, ‘We have sinned. We have done wrong. We have been wicked,’ if they change their attitude toward you in the land of their enemies where they are captives, if they pray to you toward the land that you gave their ancestors, and the city you have chosen, and the temple I have built for your name, then in heaven, the place where you live, hear their prayer for mercy. Do what is right for them. Forgive your people, who have sinned against you. ⌞Forgive⌟ all their wrongs when they rebelled against you, and cause those who captured them to have mercy on them because they are your own people whom you brought out of Egypt from the middle of an iron smelter. 1 Kings 8:47-51 GW

Because of your God’s eternal love for the people of Israel, he has made you king so that you would maintain justice and righteousness.” 1 Kings 10:8-9 GW
The Lord is great! He should be highly praised. He should be feared more than all ⌞other⌟ gods because all the gods of the nations are idols. The Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his holy place. Psalms 96:4-6 GW
Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad. Let the sea and everything in it roar like thunder. Let the fields and everything in them rejoice. Then all the trees in the forest will sing joyfully in the Lord’s presence because he is coming. He is coming to judge the earth.
