5 Of the glorious splendor of your majesty they will speak, of your wondrous works, I will meditate.
They will tell of the magnificent glory of your sanctity. And they will discourse of your wonders.
6 Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness.
And they will talk about the virtue of your terrible acts. And they will describe your greatness.
7 They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.
They will shout about the memory of your abundant sweetness. And they will exult in your justice.

O Lord, may all your works confess to you, and let your holy ones bless you.
11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power;
They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and they will declare your power,
12 to make known to the descendants of Adam his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Jehovah is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds.

14 Jehovah upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.
O Lord, all eyes hope in you, and you provide their food in due time.
16 You yourself open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
You open your hand, and you fill every kind of animal with a blessing.
17 Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and faithful in all his deeds.
The Lord is just in all his ways and holy in all his works.
18 Jehovah is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
He will do the will of those who fear him, and he will heed their supplication and accomplish their salvation.
20 Jehovah preserves all those who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
The Lord watches over all who love him. And he will destroy all sinners.
21 My mouth will speak the praise of Jehovah. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and may all flesh bless his holy name, in this time and forever and ever.
