- Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! - I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. - My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all day long. - I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I am not afraid;
what can flesh do to me? - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being. - Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved;
for you are my praise. - I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous ordinances. - Praise the Lord!
Happy are those who fear the Lord,
who greatly delight in his commandments. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever. - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God. - Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands and call on your name. - O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you, I will praise your name;
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure. - Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name. - Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven,
for all his works are truth,
and his ways are justice;
and he is able to bring low
those who walk in pride. - To you, O God of my ancestors,
I give thanks and praise,
for you have given me wisdom and power,
and have now revealed to me what we asked of you,
for you have revealed to us what the king ordered. - For it was you who formed my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well. - For it is written,
“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall give praise to God.” - I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. - Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
- I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue. - I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples,
and I will sing praises to you among the nations. - I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name forever and ever. - And you will say in that day:
Give thanks to the Lord,
call on his name;
make known his deeds among the nations;
proclaim that his name is exalted. - The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts;
so I am helped, and my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation. SelahThe Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors; may he not leave us or abandon us.
