1 I will exalt you, O God my King, * and bless your Name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I bless you * and praise your Name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; * there is no end to his greatness. 4 One generation shall praise your works to another * and shall declare your power. 5 I will ponder the glorious splendor of your majesty * and all your marvelous works. 6 They shall speak of the might of your wondrous acts, * and I will tell of your greatness. 7 They shall publish the remembrance of your great goodness; * they shall sing of your righteous deeds. 8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, * slow to anger and of great kindness. 9 The LORD is loving to everyone * and his compassion is over all his works. 10 All your works praise you, O LORD, * and your faithful servants bless you. 11 They make known the glory of your kingdom * and speak of your power; 12 That the peoples may know of your power * and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; * your dominion endures throughout all ages. 14 The LORD is faithful in all his words * and merciful in all his deeds. 15 The LORD upholds all those who fall; * he lifts up those who are bowed down. 16 The eyes of all wait upon you, O LORD, * and you give them their food in due season. 17 You open wide your hand * and satisfy the needs of every living creature. 18 The LORD is righteous in all his ways * and loving in all his works. 19 The LORD is near to those who call upon him, * to all who call upon him faithfully. 20 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; * he hears their cry and helps them. 21 The LORD preserves all those who love him, * but he destroys all the wicked. 22 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; * let all flesh bless his holy Name for ever and ever.
