2Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.

3Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.

4One generation will commend your works to another;
they will tell of your mighty acts.

5They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.Dead Sea Scrolls and Syriac (see also Septuagint); Masoretic Text On the glorious splendor of your majesty / and on your wonderful works I will meditate

6They will tell of the power of your awesome works,
and I will proclaim your great deeds.

7They will celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

8The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.

9The LORD is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.

10All you have made will praise you, O LORD;
your saints will extol you.

11They will tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might,

12so that all men may know of your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
The LORD is faithful to all his promises
and loving toward all he has made.One manuscript of the Masoretic Text, Dead Sea Scrolls and Syriac (see also Septuagint); most manuscripts of the Masoretic Text do not have the last two lines of verse 13.

14The LORD upholds all those who fall
and lifts up all who are bowed down.

15The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food at the proper time.

16You open your hand
and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

17The LORD is righteous in all his ways
and loving toward all he has made.

18The LORD is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.

19He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.

20The LORD watches over all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.

21My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD.
Let every creature praise his holy name
for ever and ever.

2I will praise the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

3Do not put your trust in princes,
in mortal men, who cannot save.

4When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
on that very day their plans come to nothing.

5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them—
the LORD, who remains faithful forever.

7He upholds the cause of the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets prisoners free,

8the LORD gives sight to the blind,
the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down,
the LORD loves the righteous.

9The LORD watches over the alien
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

10The LORD reigns forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the LORD.

2The LORD builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the exiles of Israel.

3He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

4He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.

5Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.

6The LORD sustains the humble
but casts the wicked to the ground.

7Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
make music to our God on the harp.

8He covers the sky with clouds;
he supplies the earth with rain
and makes grass grow on the hills.

9He provides food for the cattle
and for the young ravens when they call.

10His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his delight in the legs of a man;

11the LORD delights in those who fear him,
who put their hope in his unfailing love.

12Extol the LORD, O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion,

13for he strengthens the bars of your gates
and blesses your people within you.

14He grants peace to your borders
and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.

15He sends his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.

16He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.

17He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast?

18He sends his word and melts them;
he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.

19He has revealed his word to Jacob,
his laws and decrees to Israel.

20He has done this for no other nation;
they do not know his laws.
Praise the LORD.

2Praise him, all his angels,
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.

3Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars.

4Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.

5Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for he commanded and they were created.

6He set them in place for ever and ever;
he gave a decree that will never pass away.

7Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,

8lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,

9you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,

10wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,

11kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,

12young men and maidens,
old men and children.

13Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

14He has raised up for his people a horn,Horn here symbolizes strong one, that is, king.
the praise of all his saints,
of Israel, the people close to his heart.
Praise the LORD.

2Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

3Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with tambourine and harp.

4For the LORD takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with salvation.

5Let the saints rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.

6May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,

8to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,

9to carry out the sentence written against them.
This is the glory of all his saints.
Praise the LORD.

2Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her
that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from the LORD's hand
double for all her sins.

3A voice of one calling:
“In the desert prepare
the way for the LORDOr A voice of one calling in the desert: / “Prepare the way for the LORD;
make straight in the wilderness
a highway for our God.Hebrew; Septuagint make straight the paths of our God

4Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.

5And the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
and all mankind together will see it.
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

6A voice says, “Cry out.”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.

7The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.

8The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever.”

9You who bring good tidings to Zion,
go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem,Or O Zion, bringer of good tidings, / go up on a high mountain. / O Jerusalem, bringer of good tidings
lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
say to the towns of Judah,
“Here is your God!”

10See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power,
and his arm rules for him.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.

11He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.

12Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance?

13Who has understood the mindOr Spirit; or spirit of the LORD,
or instructed him as his counselor?

14Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge
or showed him the path of understanding?

15Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.

16Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires,
nor its animals enough for burnt offerings.

17Before him all the nations are as nothing;
they are regarded by him as worthless
and less than nothing.

18To whom, then, will you compare God?
What image will you compare him to?

19As for an idol, a craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and fashions silver chains for it.

20A man too poor to present such an offering
selects wood that will not rot.
He looks for a skilled craftsman
to set up an idol that will not topple.

21Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

22He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

23He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.

24No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

25“To whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.

26Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.

27Why do you say, O Jacob,
and complain, O Israel,
“My way is hidden from the LORD;
my cause is disregarded by my God”?
