[1] I will lift you up high, my God, the true king. I will bless your name forever and always. [2] I will bless you every day. I will praise your name forever and always. [3] The LORD is great and so worthy of praise! God’s greatness can’t be grasped. [4] One generation will praise your works to the next one, proclaiming your mighty acts. [5] They will talk all about the glorious splendor of your majesty; I will contemplate your wondrous works. [6] They will speak of the power of your awesome deeds; I will declare your great accomplishments. [7] They will rave in celebration of your abundant goodness; they will shout joyfully about your righteousness: [8] “The LORD is merciful and compassionate, very patient, and full of faithful love. [9] The LORD is good to everyone and everything; God’s compassion extends to all his handiwork!” [10] All that you have made gives thanks to you, LORD; all your faithful ones bless you! [11] They speak of the glory of your kingdom; they talk all about your power, [12] to inform all human beings about God’s power and the majestic glory of God’s kingdom. [13] Your kingdom is a kingship that lasts forever; your rule endures for all generations. The LORD is trustworthy in all that he says, faithful in all that he does. [14] The LORD supports all who fall down, straightens up all who are bent low. [15] All eyes look to you, hoping, and you give them their food right on time, [16] opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing. [17] The LORD is righteous in all his ways, faithful in all his deeds. [18] The LORD is close to everyone who calls out to him, to all who call out to him sincerely. [19] God shows favor to those who honor him, listening to their cries for help and saving them. [20] The LORD protects all who love him, but he destroys every wicked person. [21] My mouth will proclaim the LORD’s praise, and every living thing will bless God’s holy name forever and always.
