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

For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on his faithful followers.

But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers, and is faithful to their descendants,

Praise the Lord, you angels of his, you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees and obey his orders!

Praise the Lord, all that he has made, in all the regions of his kingdom! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be upended.

Your shout made the waters retreat; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off –

He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow.

How many living things you have made, O Lord! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made.

May the splendor of the Lord endure! May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made!

Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name! Make known his accomplishments among the nations!

Sing to him! Make music to him! Tell about all his miraculous deeds!

Boast about his holy name! Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed,

He always remembers his covenantal decree, the promise he made to a thousand generations –

They executed his miraculous signs among them, and his amazing deeds in the land of Ham.

He made it dark; they did not disobey his orders.

He turned their water into blood, and killed their fish.

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