|
||
1 I exalt you, my God the King,
|
||
and bless your name forever and ever.
|
||
2 I will bless you every day;
|
||
I will praise your name forever and ever.
|
||
3 The Lord is great and is highly praised;
|
||
his greatness is unsearchable.
|
||
4 One generation will declare your works to the next
|
||
and will proclaim your mighty acts.
|
||
5 I will speak of your splendor and glorious majesty
|
||
and your wondrous works.
|
||
6 They will proclaim the power of your awe-inspiring acts,
|
||
and I will declare your greatness.
|
||
7 They will give a testimony of your great goodness
|
||
and will joyfully sing of your righteousness.
|
||
8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
|
||
slow to anger and great in faithful love.
|
||
9 The Lord is good to everyone;
|
||
his compassion rests on all he has made.
|
||
10 All you have made will thank you, Lord;
|
||
the faithful will bless you.
|
||
11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom
|
||
and will declare your might,
|
||
12 informing all people of your mighty acts
|
||
and of the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
|
||
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;
|
||
your rule is for all generations.
|
||
The Lord is faithful in all his words
|
||
and gracious in all his actions.
|
||
14 The Lord helps all who fall;
|
||
he raises up all who are oppressed.
|
||
15 All eyes look to you,
|
||
and you give them their food at the proper time.
|
||
16 You open your hand
|
||
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
|
||
17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways
|
||
and faithful in all his acts.
|
||
18 The Lord is near all who call out to him,
|
||
all who call out to him with integrity.
|
||
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
|
||
he hears their cry for help and saves them.
|
||
20 The Lord guards all those who love him,
|
||
but he destroys all the wicked.
|
||
21 My mouth will declare the Lord’s praise;
|
||
let every living thing
|
||
bless his holy name forever and ever. |
