The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1I exalt You, my Elohim, O Sovereign; And bless Your Name forever and ever. 2All day long I bless You, And praise Your Name forever and ever. 3Great is יהוה, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. 4Generation after generation praise Your works, And they declare Your mighty acts. 5I declare the esteemed splendour of Your excellency, And the matters of Your wondrous works. 6And they speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I recount Your greatness. 7They send forth the remembrance of Your great goodness, And they sing of Your righteousness. 8יהוה shows favour and is compassionate, Patient and great in kindness. 9יהוה is good to all, And He has compassion on all His works. 10All Your works give thanks to You, O יהוה, And Your kind ones bless You. 11They speak of the esteem of Your reign, And talk of Your might, 12To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the esteemed splendour of His reign. 13Your reign is an everlasting reign, And Your rule is throughout all generations. 14יהוה is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down. 15The eyes of all look to You expectantly, And You are giving them their food in its season, 16Opening Your hand and satisfying The desire of all that live. 17יהוה is righteous in all His ways, And kind in all His works. 18יהוה is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. 19He does the desire of those who fear Him; And He hears their cry and saves them. 20יהוה preserves all those loving Him, But all the wrong ones He destroys. 21My mouth speaks the praise of יהוה, And let all flesh bless His set-apart Name, Forever and ever. |
