Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the godly and the congregation.
The LORD’s deeds are great, eagerly awaited by all who desire them.
His work is majestic and glorious, and his faithfulness endures forever.
He does amazing things that will be remembered; the LORD is merciful and compassionate.
He gives food to his faithful followers; he always remembers his covenant.
He announced that he would do mighty deeds for his people, giving them a land that belonged to other nations.
His acts are characterized by faithfulness and justice; all his precepts are reliable.
They are forever firm, and should be faithfully and properly carried out.
He delivered his people; he ordained that his covenant be observed forever. His name is holy and awesome.
To obey the LORD is the fundamental principle for wise living; all who carry out his precepts acquire good moral insight. He will receive praise forever.
