3 ... I fear the Lo r d, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land. Jonah 1:9

4 The Father has loved us so much that we are called children of God. And we really are his children... 1 John 3:1

5 Lo r d our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth! It brings you praise in heaven above. You have taught children and babies to sing praises to you because of your enemies. And so you silence your enemies and destroy those who try to get even. I look at your heavens, which you made with your fingers. I see the moon and stars, which you created. But why are people even important to you? Why do you take care of human beings? You made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honour. You put them in charge of everything you made. You put all things under their control: all the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that lives under water. Lord our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth! Psalm 8

6 The Lo r d your God is with you; the mighty One will save you. He will rejoice over you. You will rest in his love; he will sing and be joyful about you. Zephaniah 3:17

7 ... Lo r d, God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven above or on earth below. You keep your agreement of love with your servants who truly follow you. 1 Kings 8:23

8 God has chosen you and made you his holy people. He loves you... Colossians 3:12
