Verses 4-6...
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him;
strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
These verses make me think of how in many churches the "worship service" has degenerated into pop-culture entertainment. And even in "fundamentalist" churches, a reverent liturgy is shunned in favor of Bible thumping antics and shallow gospel songs. It is becoming a rare thing for a church to conduct its worship with the awareness of God's greatness, splendor, majesty, strength, and beauty. Our churches need more of this.
