On the splendor of thy glorious majesty

And on thy wondrous deeds I meditate.

They speak of thy awe-inspiring might,

And I tell of thy greatness.

They spread the fame of thy great goodness,

And sing of thy righteousness.

And thy faithful followers bless thee.

And talk of thy might,

To let men know thy mighty deeds,

And the glorious splendor of thy kingdom.

Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages,

And thy dominion is for all generations.

And raises all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all look hopefully to thee,

And thou givest them their food in due season.

Thou openest thy hand,

And satisfiest every living thing with favor.

The Lord is righteous in all his ways,

And gracious in all his deeds.

The Lord is near to all who call upon him,

To all who call upon him sincerely.

He fulfills the desire of those who revere him;

He hears their cry and saves them.

The Lord preserves all who love him,

But all the wicked he destroys.

My mouth speaks the praise of the Lord;

Let all creatures bless his holy name forever and ever.

Praise the Lord!
