Psalm 29: 2

(CEB)

 

² Give to the Lord the glory due his name!
    Bow down to the Lord in holy splendor!

 

Philippians 2: 1 - 11

(CEB)

¹Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort in love, any sharing in the Spirit, any sympathy, ²complete my joy by thinking the same way, having the same love, being united, and agreeing with each other. ³Don’t do anything for selfish purposes, but with humility think of others as better than yourselves. ⁴Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others. ⁵Adopt the attitude that was in Christ Jesus:

⁶Though he was in the form of God,he did not consider being equal with God something to exploit. ⁷But he emptied himself by taking the form of a slave
 and by becoming like human beings. When he found himself in the form of a human, ⁸he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. ⁹Therefore, God highly honored him and gave him a name above all names, ¹⁰so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth might bow, ¹¹and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
