Great and very much to be praised

I'll exalt you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I'll bless you; I'll praise your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. His greatness is beyond searching out. One generation will praise your works to the next and declare your mighty acts. I'll speak of the glorious honour of your majesty and of your wondrous works. People will speak of the power of your terrible acts, and I'll declare your greatness. They'll pour out the memory of your great goodness and sing of your righteousness. The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and rich in mercy. The LORD is good to all, and his tender mercies are over everything he has made. Everything you've made will praise you, LORD, and your saints will bless you. They'll speak of the glory of your kingdom and talk of your power, making your mighty acts known to humanity, and the glorious majesty of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your rule endures through every generation. The LORD upholds everyone who falls and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all wait on you, and you give them their food at the right time. You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all his ways and holy in everything he does. The LORD is near to everyone who calls on him, to everyone who calls on him in truth. He fulfils the desire of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD preserves everyone who loves him, but he will destroy all the wicked. My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

I'll lift you high, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. I'll bless you every day and praise your name forever and ever. The Lord is great and very much to be praised, and nobody can search out how great he is. One generation will speak well of what you've done to the next, and tell out your mighty acts. I'll talk about the glorious honour of your majesty and about your wonderful works. And men will speak about the strength of your terrifying acts, and I'll tell out how great you are. They'll pour out the memory of your great goodness and sing about your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and full of mercy, slow to anger and full of faithful love. The Lord is good to everyone, and his mercies are over everything he's made. Everything you've made will thank you, Lord, and your faithful ones will bless you. They'll talk about the glory of your kingdom and speak about your power — to make his mighty acts known to the sons of men, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Your kingdom is a kingdom for all time, and your rule goes on for every generation. The Lord holds up everyone who falls and lifts up everyone who's bent down. The eyes of everything wait on you, and you give them their food at the right time. You open your hand and fill up what every living thing wants. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and holy in everything he does. The Lord is close to everyone who calls on him, to everyone who calls on him in truth. He'll do what the ones who fear him want. He'll hear their cry too and save them. The Lord keeps everyone who loves him, but he'll finish off all the wicked. My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
