A psalm of David.
<1> I will tell of your greatness, my God and King.
I will praise your name forever and ever.
<2> I will praise you every day.
I will praise your name forever and ever.
<3> The Lord is great and deserves all our praise!
No one can fully understand his greatness.
<4> Each generation will praise you
and tell the next generation about the great things you do.
<5> Your majesty and glory[664] are wonderful.
I will tell about your miracles.
<6> People will tell about the amazing things you do.
I will tell about the great things you do.
<7> They will tell about the good things you do.
They will sing about your goodness.
<8> The Lord is kind and merciful,
patient and full of love.
<9> The Lord is good to everyone.
He shows his mercy to everything he made.
<10> Lord, all you have made will give thanks to you.
Your loyal followers will praise you.
<11> They will tell how great your kingdom is.
They will tell how great you are.
<12> So others will learn about the mighty things you do,
about the glory of your kingdom-how marvelous it is!
<13> Your kingdom will never end,
and you will rule forever.
The Lord can be trusted in all that he says.
He is loyal in all that he does.[665]
<14> The Lord lifts up people who have fallen.
He helps those who are in trouble.
<15> All living things look to you for their food,
and you give them their food at the right time.
<16> You open your hands,
and you give every living thing
everything it needs.
<17> Everything the Lord does is good.
Everything he does shows how loyal he is.
<18> The Lord is near to everyone
who sincerely calls to him for help.
<19> He listens to his followers,
and he does what they want.
He answers their prayers and saves them.
<20> The Lord protects everyone who loves him,
but he destroys all who do evil.
<21> I will praise the Lord!
Let everyone praise his holy name forever and ever!
