One generation will praise your deeds to another, and tell about your mighty acts!

Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you.

You calm the raging seas and their roaring waves, as well as the commotion made by the nations.

Praise the Lord, all you nations! Applaud him, all you foreigners!

Extol the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!

A fool lets fly with all his temper, but a wise person keeps it back.

You rule over the proud sea. When its waves surge, you calm them.

Deliver us, O Lord, our God! Gather us from among the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds.

So I considered those who are dead and gone more fortunate than those who are still alive.

Say this prayer: “Deliver us, O God who delivers us! Gather us! Rescue us from the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds.”

So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God gives him on earth.
