A thanksgiving psalm. Shout out praises to the Lord, all the earth!

The Lord does what is fair, and executes justice for all the oppressed.

All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis.

He is the Lord our God; he carries out judgment throughout the earth.

He put him in charge of his palace, and made him manager of all his property,

He ordered flies to come; gnats invaded their whole territory.

He caused all their conquerors to have pity on them.

They swayed and staggered like a drunk, and all their skill proved ineffective.

The Lord’s deeds are great, eagerly awaited by all who desire them.

Our God is in heaven! He does whatever he pleases!

I rashly declared, “All men are liars.”

How can I repay the Lord for all his acts of kindness to me?

How blessed are those who observe his rules, and seek him with all their heart,

With all my heart I seek you. Do not allow me to stray from your commands!

With my lips I proclaim all the regulations you have revealed.

I rejoice in the lifestyle prescribed by your rules as if they were riches of all kinds.

Give me understanding so that I might observe your law, and keep it with all my heart.

I seek your favor with all my heart. Have mercy on me as you promised!

All your commands are reliable. I am pursued without reason. Help me!

Today they stand firm by your decrees, for all things are your servants.
