People say wonderful things about you, O city of God. (Selah)

They bind their kings in chains, and their nobles in iron shackles,

Whoever presents a thank-offering honors me. To whoever obeys my commands, I will reveal my power to deliver.”

O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks with my whole heart! I will honor your name continually!

When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor.

He despises a reprobate, but honors the Lord’s loyal followers. He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.

For day and night you tormented me; you tried to destroy me in the intense heat of summer. (Selah)

All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O Lord. They will honor your name.

You loyal followers of the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! All you descendants of Israel, stand in awe of him!
