He counts the number of the stars; he names all of them.

you animals and all you cattle, you creeping things and birds,

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

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!

Let all the people of the earth acknowledge the Lord and turn to him! Let all the nations worship you!

All of the thriving people of the earth will join the celebration and worship; all those who are descending into the grave will bow before him, including those who cannot preserve their lives.

Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.

You, O Lord God, the invincible warrior, the God of Israel, rouse yourself and punish all the nations! Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah)

My eyes grow dim from suffering; they grow weak because of all my enemies.

God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day.

you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority,

including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals,

O Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth!

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,

As for God’s chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much –

May he take notice of your offerings; may he accept your burnt sacrifice! (Selah)

May he grant your heart’s desire; may he bring all your plans to pass!

You prevail over all your enemies; your power is too great for those who hate you.

I can count all my bones; my enemies are gloating over me in triumph.

Certainly none who rely on you will be humiliated. Those who deal in treachery will be thwarted and humiliated.
