I will proclaim your greatness through the coming years, then the nations will praise you forever.

For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes, and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,

The praise you receive as far away as the ends of the earth is worthy of your reputation, O God. You execute justice!

Then I will sing praises to your name continually, as I fulfill my vows day after day.

When the Lord heard this, he was furious. A fire broke out against Jacob, and his anger flared up against Israel,

For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. I hate all deceitful actions.

He has not done so with any other nation; they are not aware of his regulations. Praise the Lord!

You love justice and hate evil. For this reason God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.

We heard about God’s mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the Lord, the invincible Warrior, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure. (Selah)

You visit the earth and give it rain; you make it rich and fertile with overflowing streams full of water. You provide grain for them, for you prepare the earth to yield its crops.

Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress, so my eyes will look to the Lord, our God, until he shows us favor.

It is vain for you to rise early, come home late, and work so hard for your food. Yes, he can provide for those whom he loves even when they sleep.
