Joyous are they who dwell in Your house;
they will praise You forever.
Joyous are the people who are so favored;
joyous the people whose God is Adonai.
A psalm of David.
I praise You, my God, my ruler;
I always praise Your name.
Every day and I praise You, always glorifying Your name.
Adonai is great, to be greatly praised,
though God’s greatness is beyond our understanding.
One generation praises Your works to another,
telling of Your mighty deeds.
I would speak of Your majestic glory
and of Your wondrous acts.
People speak of Your awe-inspiring acts;
I will also speak of Your greatness.
They speak of Your great goodness,
and sing of Your righteousness.
Adonai is merciful and compassionate,
patient, and full of love.
Adonai is good to all,
and God’s mercy embraces all of creation.
All of creation acknowledges You,
and the faithful bless You.
They speak of the glory of Your rule;
and tell of Your might,
proclaiming to humanity Your mighty deeds,
and the glory of Your majestic rule.
Your rule is eternal,
Your dominion endures through each generation.
Adonai supports all who falter,
and lifts up all who are bent down.
The eyes of all look hopefully to You,
and You provide them nourishment in due time.
You open Your hand,
satisfying all the living with contentment.
Adonai is righteous in all that is done,
faithful to all creation.
Adonai is near to all who call,
to all who sincerely call.
God fulfills the desire of those who are faithful,
listening to their cries, rescuing them.
Adonai watches over all those who love the Holy One,
but will destroy all the wicked.
My mouth shall speak praise of Adonai.
May all that is mortal praise God’s name forever and ever.
We shall praise Adonai now and always. Halleluyah!
