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

I belong to you. Deliver me! For I seek your precepts.

I am more discerning than those older than I, for I observe your precepts.

I do not turn aside from your regulations, for you teach me.

I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commands.

My zeal consumes me, for my enemies forget your instructions.

I learned long ago that you ordained your rules to last.

May praise flow freely from my lips, for you teach me your statutes.

May your hand help me, for I choose to obey your precepts.

But you are willing to forgive, so that you might be honored.

Give thanks to the God of gods, for his loyal love endures.

Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who used wisdom to make the heavens, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who made the great lights, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, for his loyal love endures,

and led Israel out from their midst, for his loyal love endures,

and led Israel through its midst, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who led his people through the wilderness, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who struck down great kings, for his loyal love endures,

and killed powerful kings, for his loyal love endures,
